Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 7.7 km climb with 390 m of elevation gain, at an average gradient of 5.1%, earns its Category 1 rating. The start is the hardest part, with 13% over km 0.0-0.5, then 9% over km 0.5-1.0 and 7% over km 1.0-1.5. A descent over km 1.5-2.0 (-5%) gives you a brief breather before another steep section at 9% over km 5.0-5.5. Km 5.5-7.0, with gradients between 1% and 2%, lets you recover before the finish.

Pacing tips:

1. Control the start: don't go into the red over the first kilometers at 13% and 9%, and pick a gear that lets you keep a steady cadence.

2. Recover on the descent: use km 1.5-2.0 to catch your breath and get back into your rhythm in the saddle, without losing focus.

3. Save something for km 5.0-5.5: hit the 9% section with energy in the tank, then push harder on km 5.5-7.0, where the easier gradient lets you raise your pace.
