Difficulty analysis: At 25.8 km, with 1975 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7.6%, Kufri from Kayār is an HC climb that is very demanding physically. The first eight kilometres go up without respite, with sections at 10% and up to 14% between km 1.0 and 2.0. The km 9.0-10.0 descent and the km 16.0-20.0 stretch, which is close to flat, do however offer rare chances to recover.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Don't start too hard: the 14% section between km 1.0 and 2.0 will drain your legs quickly, so get into the climb at a steady, controlled rhythm.
2. Use the flat sections to recover: use the km 10.0-11.0 flat (0%) and the km 16.0-20.0 stretch to drink, eat and get your breathing back before the next ramps.
3. Save something for the finish: after the 11% section at km 21.0-22.0, don't go gung-ho on the almost flat km 22.0-24.0, and keep some energy for the final 8% ramp at km 24.0-25.0.
