Difficulty breakdown: The Chorepa from Klenovec is a 3rd category climb, 3.5 km long, with an average gradient of 5.5% over 193 m of elevation gain. There's no real respite anywhere on this one: every section sits between 5% and 7%, with the steepest part at KM 0.5-1.0 at 7%. The real challenge is the steady grind. The effort just keeps building with no real let-up until the summit.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. On the KM 0.0-0.5 section at 5%, spin an easy cadence and keep the effort under control so you still have something in the tank for later.
2. Prepare for the steepest ramp. On the KM 0.5-1.0 section at 7%, stay seated, shift into an easier gear in good time, and keep a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Manage the final part of the climb. Between KM 2.5-3.0 and KM 3.0-3.5, both at 6%, hold a steady rhythm and save your last reserves for the final hundred metres.

One of the testimonials refers to a quick stop on the road, made by car, not a climb on the bike.
