Difficulty analysis: The ريع الطفالة climb, 10.3 km long with 802 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7.8%, is rated HC and promises to be tough from start to finish. There's barely any respite: not a single kilometre drops below 5%, and the sections km 1.0-2.0, km 2.0-3.0, km 4.0-5.0 and km 5.0-6.0 all sit at 8%. The finale is especially hard with 9% over km 9.0-10.0, and the last section at 4% (km 10.0-10.3) only gives a short bit of relief before the finish.
Tips for the effort:
1. Keep a controlled pace from the start Over km 0.0-1.0 at 6%, ride within yourself so you don't burn your legs before the 8% sections.
2. Save something for the finale On km 9.0-10.0, the steepest part at 9%, use an easy gear and keep a steady cadence rather than surging in bursts.
3. Plan your fuelling and hydration Eat and drink regularly from km 1.0-2.0, before the gradient settles around 8%, to avoid fading later on.
