Difficulty breakdown: The Chorfa climb is a demanding HC climb over 12.5 km. Its main challenge lies in how the gradient builds: the first 5 km are moderate (3%-6%), but the road really kicks up from KM 6, hitting a peak of 9% between KM 8 and 9. The second half is therefore significantly harder than the first.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Start at a moderate effort to save your legs. The mistake would be going too hard on the easy early percentages.
2. Prepare for the hard section: Get your head and legs ready for the string of 7%, 8% and 9% ramps between KM 6 and 10. This is where the climb is won or lost.
3. Active recovery: Use the last two kilometres (5% and 3%) to ease off a little and spin your legs before the summit.
