Difficulty breakdown:
The Klokočov climb has a two-stage profile. The first four kilometres are very gentle (average gradient of 1-3%), a nice progressive warm-up. The real difficulty starts after KM 4.0, where the gradient ramps up to 5-7% for almost two kilometres. The last section is a slight downhill (-3%), which gives you a chance to recover before the summit.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself: Don't let the easy start fool you. Save your legs for the middle section, where most of the climbing is.
2. Anticipate the change of gradient: Around KM 3.5, get ready mentally and physically for the steeper 5-7% section, and shift to an easier gear before it hits so you don't have to make a jerky change under load.
3. Use the end to recover: Take advantage of the last 500 metres on the downhill grade to ease off the pedals and get your breath back.
