Analysis of the difficulty:
This 19.1 km HC climb has a varied difficulty. The 4.9% average gradient is misleading. The first half (KM 0-9) alternates steep sections (7%) with very easy parts (0-2%), which give you a chance to recover. The real difficulty is concentrated in the second half (KM 11-17), with an unbroken stretch of gradients between 6% and 8%, which is the core of the effort.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Ride within yourself on the first part: Resist the temptation to go too hard in the opening kilometres. Use the flatter sections (KM 3-7) to recover and bring your heart rate down.
2. Save something for the end: The hardest section (KM 11-17) demands disciplined pacing. Reach it with fresh legs so you can hold a steady rhythm on the 7-8% ramps.
3. Plan for the easing off: The last two kilometres (2-4% gradient) offer some relief. Pace yourself so you can push a little harder there if your legs allow it.
