Bukit Keciwa is a climb of 9.0 kilometers (category 1). The climb finishes at 537 m above sea level. It is located in kabupaten de Karangasem, Bali, Indonesia. The average gradient is 4.8% with a maximum of 15.7%. The climb has 432 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty Analysis: This 9 km climb averages a 4.8% gradient over 432 m of elevation gain, which makes it a Cat 1. The first section, from KM 0.0 to KM 4.0, is steady at 4 to 5%, so you can settle into a rhythm. The real decider comes between KM 5.5 and KM 8.0, where the gradient hits 6 to 10% for over two kilometres, before a final 6% section from KM 8.5 to 9.0.
Pacing Tips:
1. Stay steady from the bottom. On the early kilometres (KM 0.0-4.0, 4 to 5%), settle into a steady rhythm and don't dig into your reserves.
2. Recover on the false flat. Use KM 4.0-5.0 (2% then 1%) and the short descent at KM 5.0-5.5 to catch your breath before the 10% ramps that follow.
3. Manage the finale. Ride the sequence from KM 6.0 to KM 8.0 (up to 10%) while saving something for KM 8.5-9.0 at 6%, the last real test before the finish.
The Bukit Keciwa is in the village of Sibetan. One rider who climbed it says you can see the harbour at Padangbay from the top.
Another report mentions the Telaga Sibetan market in the same village, but says nothing more about the climb itself.
The last comment is just two words: "Great place". It doesn't say anything about the road, the traffic or the gradient.
There aren't many reports, and they're pretty short, so it's worth checking on road conditions before you head out.
