There's almost no respite: only the KM 2.0-3.0 stretch, at 2%, offers a real break, while the other kilometres hover between 5% and 9%. The steepest sections, KM 1.0-2.0 and KM 5.0-6.0 at 8%, then KM 9.0-10.0 at 9%, will be the real tests of your legs.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Start easy. On KM 0.0-1.0 at 5%, settle into a comfortable rhythm so you don't blow up before the 8% sections.
2. Make the most of the flat. At KM 2.0-3.0, where it's only 2%, recover, drink, eat and get your breath back before tackling the hardest part.
3. Save something for the finish. KM 9.0-10.0 at 9% is the steepest part of the climb: stay in a gear you can spin and keep some legs in reserve for the final push.
