Difficulty breakdown: With 5.1 km for 240 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.7%, this category 3 climb is demanding without being brutal. The real crux comes between km 1.0 and km 3.0, where 7%, 7%, then 5% and 7% grades come one after another with barely any respite. The second part, from km 3.0 to km 5.0, is steadier at 3%, which makes it easier to find a rhythm, but it finishes with 100 metres at 7%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first 500 metres at 6% are tempting to attack, so use the 2% false flat between km 0.5 and 1.0 to catch your breath and settle into your cadence.
2. Ride the 7% section smart. Between km 1.0 and 3.0, keep a high, smooth cadence, stay in the saddle as much as you can, and avoid unnecessary surges.
3. Save something for the finish. Hold a steady rhythm from km 3.0 to km 5.0, and save your last reserves for the final 100 metres at 7%.
