Difficulty analysis: With 5.2 km for 251 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.8%, this 3rd category climb is within reach but demands a lot of endurance. The start is gentle (3% over km 0.0-0.5), then the middle section gets noticeably steeper, with 6% between km 2.0 and 3.0, and again between km 3.5 and 4.5. The final part, which is more rolling (4% then 2%), gives you one last chance to recover before the summit.
Tips for the effort:
1. Don't start too fast In the first kilometres at 3% (km 0.0-0.5), keep a steady pace to save your legs for what's coming.
2. Settle into a steady tempo Between km 2.0 and 3.0, at 6%, favour a gear you can spin comfortably and a steady cadence rather than surges.
3. Save something for the finish On km 4.5-5.0 and 5.0-5.2, the gradient eases: gradually ramp the pace back up to finish strong without blowing up.
