Difficulty breakdown: This 3.2 km climb with 257 m of elevation gain averages 7.9% and is rated Category 2. The profile is consistent, with no flat sections, and the gradient builds steadily: you start at 6% on KM 0.0-0.5, hit 9% on KM 2.0-2.5, then 10% on KM 2.5-3.0. The final kilometre is therefore the hardest stretch, and it comes when the fatigue has already piled up.
Tips for riding it:
1. Don't go out too hard. The 6% opening on KM 0.0-0.5 is where many riders go too deep, when you need to save something for later.
2. Find a steady rhythm in the middle section. Between KM 0.5-1.0 at 8% and KM 1.5-2.0 at 8%, a sensible gear and a smooth cadence will keep lactate build-up under control.
3. Save your legs for the finish. On KM 2.5-3.0 at 10%, stay in the saddle if you can, keep a fluid cadence, and go by feel as you approach the summit.
