Difficulty breakdown: The Pass Bukhiv from Skhidnytsya is a 3.2 km climb with 203 m of elevation gain, averaging 6.3%, which puts it in Category 3. The hard part is concentrated between km 2.0 and 2.5, where the gradient hits 10% over 52 m of climbing, the steepest section of the route. Km 0.0 to 1.5 is a steady 6-7%, so you need to keep a consistent rhythm. The final stretch, from 3.0 to 3.2 km, stays under 1%, giving you a bit of recovery time before the finish.
Tips for pacing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: on the first few km at 6-7%, hold a steady cadence so you still have legs left for the steepest part.
2. Prepare for the 10% ramp: between 2.0 and 2.5 km, shift to an easier gear before the gradient kicks up and keep a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Recover on the final flat: between 3.0 and 3.2 km, the 1% grade lets you catch your breath and build back up for the finish.
