Tips

Climb analysis: At 21.1 km with an average gradient of 8.9%, the Changla Gali is a HC climb that gives you very little respite. The first few km set the tone with 12% over km 0.0-1.0, then the km 4.0-5.0 section at 16%, km 5.0-6.0 at 14%, km 6.0-7.0 at 12% and km 7.0-8.0 at 13% make up the heart of the climb. Another steep section at km 13.0-14.0 (13%) keeps the pressure on in the second half. The only real breaks come at km 2.0-3.0 and km 12.0-13.0, both at -1%.

Pacing tips:

1. Manage the start. Don't go out too hard over km 0.0-1.0 at 12%, because most of the energy expenditure comes between km 4.0 and km 8.0.

2. Recover on the flat bits. Use km 2.0-3.0 and km 12.0-13.0 to drink, eat and shake out your legs before the gradient kicks back in.

3. Choose your gear on the steep sections. On km 4.0-8.0 and km 13.0-14.0, aim for a steady cadence around 70 to 80 rpm and stay seated to save energy.
