Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The average gradient of 3.9% is gentle, but the profile is uneven. The difficulty lies in the three sections at 6% (0-0.5km, 0.5-1.0km, 2.0-2.5km), which demand a harder effort, separated by flatter stretches where you can recover.
Tips for pacing your effort:
1. Measured start: The first two half-kilometres at 6% are tough. Don't go out too hard, or you'll burn through your reserves right from the bottom.
2. Active recovery: Use the low-gradient sections (KM 1.5-2.0 and 4.0-4.5) to ease off slightly and settle back into a steady breathing rhythm.
3. Progressive pickup: Anticipate the return to 6% around the 2nd kilometre. Gradually build your power as you approach this segment to keep a steady rhythm.
