Difficulty analysis: At 6 km, with an average gradient of 4.7%, 280 m of elevation gain and a Category 1 classification, the Gunung Ngabean demands a sustained, steady effort. The start is the toughest section, with 11% over the first 500 m, followed by 0.5 to 2.0 km at 5 to 6%. The 2.5 to 3.0 km stretch, almost flat at 1%, gives you a breather before the last steep kicker at 7% between 4.5 and 5.0 km.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. Don't go out too hard on the first 0.5 km at 11%: stay seated, keep a smooth cadence and choose a gear that lets you save your legs.
2. Make the most of the breathers. Really recover on the 1% section between 2.5 and 3.0 km and on the descent from 3.5 to 4.0 km, keeping a steady rhythm.
3. Save something for the finish. Hit the 7% ramp between 4.5 and 5.0 km with energy in reserve, and only stand on the pedals if it helps you hold your cadence.
