Difficulty analysis: At 2.8 km for 159 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.8%, the Kaczmarka from Klecza is a category 3 climb. It's doable but demanding. The profile is uneven: km 0.0-0.5 and 0.5-1.0 come in at 4%, then it gets harder between km 1.0-1.5 at 7%, and especially between km 1.5-2.0, where the gradient hits 10%. The km 2.0-2.5 section at 6% keeps the pressure on before a more rolling finish at 4% over km 2.5-2.8.
Tips for the effort:
1. Stay steady from the off: over the first kilometres at 4%, settle into a smooth cadence rather than going out hard, because the toughest part comes later.
2. Prepare for the 10% ramp: in km 1.5-2.0, shift down before the ramp, keep your cadence high and stay seated to save your legs.
3. Push on the final section: over km 2.5-2.8 at 4%, build your speed gradually and empty the tank, as the gradient finally eases off.
