Difficulty breakdown: Wichrówka from Janowice is a demanding climb over 2.9 km with 192 m of elevation gain, averaging 6.6%. The start is the hardest part, with 11% for the first 500 metres and then 9% over the next kilometre, so you'll be going straight into it. The 1.0-2.0 km stretch, at 3% then 4%, gives you a real breather before the 2.0-2.5 km section at 10%, the second tough spot on the climb. The final 2.5-2.9 km, at 2%, is more rolling, but it can feel long after all that effort.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Ease into it. The first 500 metres at 11% will tempt you to go too hard. Stay in an easy gear and hold a steady cadence so you don't blow up before the midpoint.
2. Recover on the flat section. Use the 1.0-1.5 km stretch at 3% and the 1.5-2.0 km stretch at 4% to drink, take on some food, and get your legs back before the 10% ramp.
3. Save something for the final push. Hit the 2.0-2.5 km section at 10% with some left in the tank, because the 2.5-2.9 km stretch at 2% won't give you much time to recover.
