U Větřáku is a climb of 7.0 kilometers (category 3). U Větřáku tops out at 557 m above sea level. It is located in Heřmánky, Moravskoslezsko, Česko. The average gradient is 3.3% with a maximum of 8.2%. The climb has 228 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. Most of the elevation gain (about 170m) is packed into the first 3 km, with gradients of 6 to 8%. The rest of the route (km 3.5 to 7.0) is very gentle, even including a flat section, so it's really a climb in two distinct parts.
Pacing tips:
1. Start conservatively: The real effort is at the beginning. Don't go out too hard on the 6-8% ramps or you'll cook your legs too early.
2. Recover in the middle: Use the almost flat section between 3.5 and 5.0 km to get your breathing back under control and rehydrate before the slight uphill finish.
3. Save something for the end: The final stretch isn't steep (1-2%), so if you've paced the start well, you can pick up the tempo a little over the last kilometer.
