Pomocne is a climb of 9.2 kilometers (category 3). Pomocne tops out at 430 m above sea level. It is located in Chełmiec, województwo dolnośląskie, Polska. The average gradient is 2.5% with a maximum of 10.1%. The climb has 235 meters of elevation gain.
Climb difficulty: This Category 3 climb is a bit of an oddball. The hard work is concentrated in the first 3 km (gradients of 4% to 7%), followed by a long 5 km section that's virtually flat or downhill. The real test is the final kilometer (KM 8.0-8.5), with a brutal 9% ramp after a recovery descent.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Pacing: Don't go out too hard on the first few percent. The climb effectively splits into two separate efforts: the start and the finish. Save something in the tank for the 9% attack at the end.
2. Make the most of the descent: The long downhill and flat middle section (KM 3.0 to 8.0) is key for active recovery (spin easy) and for hitting the last wall with fresh legs.
3. Prepare for the finish: Before KM 8.0, get ready mentally and physically to change rhythm. Shifting up to a harder gear before the steep section is essential so you don't get caught out.
