Difficulty analysis:
This Category 3 climb is moderately hard but relentless. The 5.4% average gradient is deceptive: the profile shows an almost unbroken 6 to 7% from the bottom through the first 3.5 km. The toughest section is between KM 2.0 and 3.5, at 7%. The last kilometre gives you a bit of a breather (KM 3.5-4.0 at 4%) before a final 6% ramp.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: Don't get fooled by the first 500m at 3%. Expect the 6-7% sections that follow and settle into a pace you can sustain.
2. Make the most of the breather at KM 3.5: The 4% section over roughly 450m is a key opportunity to recover a little and prepare for the final 6% ramp.
3. Keep a steady cadence: The lack of really brutal gradients lets you find a balanced gear and hold a consistent pedalling cadence all the way up.
