Difficulty breakdown: This 4.8 km climb averages 4.8% over 228 m of elevation gain, which puts it in category 3. The first two kilometres, at 6% between 0.0 and 2.0 km, are the hardest part, so start with restraint. The gradient stays tough between 2.5 and 4.5 km, with sections of 4 to 5%, before easing to 2% on the final stretch (4.5 to 4.8 km). It's a steady climb with no real extended respite.
Pacing tips:
1. Pace your start. Take the first 2 km at 6% with a controlled effort, and don't go out too hard in the first few hundred metres.
2. Recover on the false flat. Use the 3% section (2.0 to 2.5 km) to ease off slightly and settle into a steady rhythm before what comes next.
3. Keep a steady cadence to the top. Between 2.5 and 4.5 km, stay seated with a gear that suits the gradient, then build up gradually on the final 2%.
