Difficulty analysis: This 3rd category climb is moderately hard but uneven. The first kilometre is very manageable (3%), but the difficulty peaks between the 1.5km and 2.5km marks with a brutal 11% section. The final stretch is flat, giving you some real relief.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing yourself: Start easy over the first kilometres at 3% and build up some reserves. Be ready for the steep 11% ramp around the 2km mark.
2. Breaking the climb into sections: Treat the hard part (1.5km to 2.5km) as a separate goal. Hold a steady rhythm through that section without blowing up.
3. Making the most of the recovery: Once past the peak, the gradient eases to 4% and then flattens out completely. Use that final part to recover and get your rhythm back before the finish.
