Difficulty breakdown: The Rugobagoba climb has an uneven profile, and that's what makes it hard. The toughest section is clearly km 1.0 to 1.5, with a brutal 10% gradient. Km 2.5 to 3.0 gives you a real breather at only 1%, before it ramps back up moderately to the finish. The average gradient of 5% over 3.8 km is pretty standard for a Cat 3.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing your pace on the 10%: Don't go out too hard going into the 10% section, or you'll already be redlining before you get there. That's the key to avoiding blowing up.
2. Making the most of the breather: The 1% section (km 2.5-3.0) is crucial for recovering actively (spinning easy) before the final 6% ramps.
3. Anticipating changes in rhythm: The uneven gradients demand constant attention to adjust your gearing and keep a steady effort.
