Javorina is a climb of 6.0 kilometers (category 1). Javorina tops out at 895 m above sea level. It is located in Bzince pod Javorinou, Trenčiansky kraj, Slovensko. The average gradient is 8.6% with a maximum of 16.5%. The climb has 519 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb presents sustained difficulty due to its high average gradient (8.6%) over 6 km. The challenge lies in the uneven profile, with two steep sections to manage: a kilometre at 12% (KM 1.0-1.5) and another at 13% (KM 2.5-3.0), the latter being the steepest part of the climb.
Tips for pacing the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first kilometre is already demanding (9% then 7%). Avoid going out too hard so you don't build up fatigue before the critical 12% and 13% sections.
2. Prepare for the two steep ramps: Ease off slightly before the hardest segments (KM 1.0-1.5 and KM 2.5-3.0) so you tackle them with fresh legs. The 13% ramp in the 3rd kilometre is the key point of the climb.
3. Make the most of the respite at the end: After KM 4.0, the gradients ease (7% and 6%). Use this stretch to recover a little and hold a steady rhythm to the summit.
