Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Start very easy so you don't blow up on the first, very steep kilometres. Spin an easy gear and hold a steady heart rate or power.
2. Make the most of the breather: The section between KM 3.5 and KM 6.0 (2%-5% gradient) is key for recovery. Ease off a little without slowing down too much, so you reach the final part of the climb with something left in the tank.
3. Prepare for the finish: The gradient kicks back up to 8% and 7% over the last 500 metres. Start building your effort gradually from KM 6.0 to hold your speed.
