Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb has a varied gradient. The first 1.5 km is tough, with grades of 7% to 9%, followed by a clear breather between 2.0 and 2.5 km (4%) and a short descent (-3%). The final section (3.0-4.3 km) ramps up again, with gradients of 8% and 7%, which makes it a tactical challenge.

How to manage your effort:

1. Pace your start: Hold back on the 9% pitches at the bottom to avoid blowing up early.

2. Make the most of the recovery: Use the flatter section and the descent in the middle of the climb to recover and bring your heart rate down.

3. Save something in the tank: Be ready for the 8% ramp after 3.0 km so you still have legs for the finish.
