Difficulty breakdown: This 2.1 km climb is sustained through its first half, with three sections at 10-11% over 1.5 km. The last section (1.5-2.0 km) at 4% gives you a real breather before the finish, which takes some of the sting out of the overall effort.
Pacing tips:
1. Start easy: The first 1.5 km are the hard part. Don't go out too hard. Keep a steady rhythm on the steep stuff.
2. Use the breather: Spin the legs over the last 500 metres at 4% to recover, then pick up the pace for the finish.
3. Gearing: Anticipate the gradient changes and shift early so you're not grinding in the 11% sections and blowing up your legs.
