Difficulty breakdown: Covering 5.4 km for 213 m of elevation gain at an average gradient of 3.9%, the Col du Kéked is rated Category 3. It's a proper climb, but any regular rider can handle it. The real challenge lies in the two steepest sections, KM 2.0-2.5 at 6% and KM 4.5-5.0 at 7%. KM 4.0-4.5 is basically flat at 0%, a welcome breather, but don't use it as an excuse to ease off.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't blow up early. On the first kilometres at 3 and 4%, settle into a steady rhythm and save some energy for the steeper ramps.
2. Prepare for the wall at KM 2.0-2.5. Shift down in good time and keep a smooth, consistent cadence, no surging, once the gradient hits 6%.
3. Recover on the flat and set up the finale. Use KM 4.0-4.5 to drink, eat and get your legs back before the final 7% kicker at KM 4.5-5.0.
