Mount Mee is a climb of 2.4 kilometers (category 1). Mount Mee tops out at 430 m above sea level. It is located in City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. The average gradient is 10.0% with a maximum of 16%. The climb has 239 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This short (2.4 km) but brutal climb averages a punishing 10%, typical of a Cat 1 col. The real test is the opening: a 1.5 km stretch where the gradient goes above 10%, hitting 12% between 1.0 and 1.5 km, so you need to be putting out steady power from the bottom.
How to manage the effort:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go out too hard. The first 500 metres at 10% are just the warm-up for a gradient that keeps getting steeper. Settle into a rhythm you can hold through the sharpest section (11-12%).
2. Watch for the easing at 2.0 km: The gradient drops noticeably to 7% at 2.0 km. Save something in the tank so you can attack or recover on this more manageable final section.
3. Gearing: Run a gear that suits 12% gradients, and be ready to spin it over a long stretch. A high cadence (>70 rpm) will help you save your legs on that steep section.
