Difficulty analysis: The Laklouk from Janné is a HC climb: 13.6 km for 1150 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 8.5%. The crux comes between km 1.0 and 3.0, with 11% then 16% (KM 2.0-3.0), which breaks your rhythm right from the start. After that, the route strings together steady sections between 7% and 10%, notably from KM 6.0 to KM 8.0, then between 6% and 7% from KM 9.0 to KM 13.0, which grinds your legs over the long haul. The slight descent from KM 13.0-13.6 (-2%) only gives you a brief recovery before the finish.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Finding your rhythm from the off In KM 0.0-1.0 at 6%, settle into a steady cadence so you don't burn out before the 16% ramp at KM 2.0-3.0.
2. Handling the wall at KM 2.0-3.0 Shift down to an easier gear in good time, stay seated and keep a smooth cadence to spare your knees and your breathing.
3. Making the most of the breather at KM 4.0-5.0 At 5%, this is the easiest stretch of the climb: drink, fuel up and recover a little, because the second half is still demanding.
