Difficulty analysis: At 5.8 km for 384 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 6.7%, the Mehora is a demanding Category 1 climb with no real respite. The hardest section is between KM 1.0 and KM 2.0, where the gradient reaches 9%, then between KM 5.0 and KM 5.5 at 8%. The easier stretches, at 5% from KM 0.0-0.5 and KM 3.5-4.0, don't give you much chance to recover properly.
Pacing tips:
1. Ease into it. On the 5% section from KM 0.0-0.5, settle into a steady cadence so you don't dig into your reserves before the 9% ramp at KM 1.0-1.5.
2. Prepare for the heart of the climb. Shift to a lighter gear from KM 1.0 and keep your cadence smooth up to KM 2.0 to spare your legs.
3. Save something for the top. After the 7% section at KM 4.5-5.0, tackle the 8% stretch from KM 5.0-5.5 without blowing up, so you have enough left to finish strong on the 6% section from KM 5.5-5.8.
