Klenina Kamienicka from Kamienica: what you need to know

Difficulty analysis: A short but intense climb with a harsh average gradient of 11%. The main challenge lies in the constant 13% over the central kilometre (1.5-2.5 km), which forms the heart of the effort after a gradual start.

Pacing advice:

• Start steady over the first kilometre (8-10%) to save your legs for the steepest sections ahead.
• Prepare for the steepest section (1.5-2.5 km at 13%) by selecting a suitable gear and keeping a smooth, even cadence to avoid blowing up.
• Hold your effort on the final part (10%) which, although slightly less steep, requires focus after the accumulated fatigue.
