Climb difficulty analysis: This 4th category climb is moderately hard. The profile is uneven, with a tougher central section (6% gradients between km 1.0 and 2.0) bookended by a very gentle start and finish (1%). The 3.5% average gradient is misleading, so your effort will vary a lot.
How to manage your effort:
1. Anticipate the change of pace: Spin an easy gear over the first km at 1%, then get ready to dig in for the 6% section over the next km.
2. Recover smartly: Once you're past the peak, the gradient eases back to 3-4%. Use these sections to settle your breathing before the short ramp to 5% near the end.
3. Save something for the end: Don't go all-out too early. The final stretch is almost flat (1%), so you can finish strong if you've paced yourself well.
