Difficulty breakdown: At 5.6 km with 282 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5%, this Category 2 climb is a steady grind: accessible, but demanding. The first two kilometres, between 4% and 5%, give you time to settle into a rhythm before the hardest section, between km 2.0 and km 2.5, where the gradient hits 10%. The second half stays honest, with stretches at 7% and 8% between km 2.5 and km 3.5, before a flat section at 1% from km 5.0 to km 5.5.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the start. On the first two kilometres at 4-5%, ride at a moderate pace to keep some in the tank for the 10% ramp.
2. Preparing for the 10% section. Shift into an easy gear before km 2.0 and keep a smooth cadence between km 2.0 and km 2.5 to save your legs.
3. Recovering on the flat. Between km 5.0 and km 5.5, use the 1% false flat to recover and push back on the pedals, then take the final descent at -9% with care.
