Difficulty breakdown: At 6.7 km with an average gradient of 3.4% and 228 m of elevation gain, Bounday Hill is a Category 2 climb of moderate intensity, but it still demands respect. Most of the difficulty is concentrated at the start: from km 0.5 to km 1.5, the gradient ramps up to 7%, then 10%, so you'll be working hard from the very first kilometers. The section from km 3.5 to km 4.0, at 8%, is a second key stretch, after a more rolling portion.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Keep your effort under control from the start. Don't let the adrenaline get the better of you in the first few kilometers, because the 10% stretch between km 1.0 and km 1.5 is the most expensive part of the climb.
2. Prepare for the 8% section. Shift into an easy enough gear before km 3.5 and keep a steady cadence so you don't go into the red.
3. Recover on the rolling sections. Make the most of km 5.0 to km 5.5, which is virtually flat, and km 5.5 to km 6.0 to get your breathing back and save some energy for the final kilometers.
