Difficulty breakdown: At 4.6 km for 301 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.6%, the Golo Benteng is a demanding Category 1 climb, and its difficulty lies mainly in its very steep sections. The stretches km 0.0-0.5 and km 2.0-2.5, both at 14%, are the real hard points, followed by km 1.5-2.0 at 11%. Between these sections, the descent at km 1.0-1.5 (-4%) and the almost flat stretches at km 3.0-3.5 and km 4.0-4.5 (1%) offer some respite, but they don't make up for the string of ramps. The climb is therefore all about managing hard efforts and recovering between surges.
Tips for pacing:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first 500 metres at 14% will try to burn through your matches, so stay within a controlled effort and accept losing a few seconds at the start.
2. Use the breaks to recover. On the descent at km 1.0-1.5 and on the flat at km 3.0-3.5, spin the pedals easily without pushing, to rest your legs before the next ramp.
3. Shift to an easier gear at km 2.0-2.5. On this 14% section, pick a light gear, stay seated and keep a steady cadence to save your legs.
