Difficulty breakdown: At 13.3 km with 1,365 m of climbing and an average gradient of 10.2%, the NichiPhu from Jamiri is a seriously tough HC climb. The first five kilometres, at 7 to 9%, demand a strong pace from the get-go. After a short stretch that dips slightly between km 5.0 and 6.0 (-1%), the road ramps back up, and the km 10.0 to 11.0 section at 9% is the steepest part of the second half. The final kilometres, at 1 to 3%, give you little real recovery.
Pacing tips:
1. Ride the first third by feel, not by momentum. Tackle km 0.0 to 5.0 in a gear you can hold for a long time, so you still have something left for the km 10.0 to 11.0 ramp.
2. Make the most of the dip between km 5.0 and 6.0. That slight descent is the perfect moment to drink, eat and catch your breath without losing too much time.
3. Manage the finish with a steady cadence. Over km 11.0 to 13.3, where the gradient eases, keep your cadence high and your effort even so you can finish without blowing up.
