Difficulty breakdown: Na Zmrzlík is a short but steady climb, with 161 m of elevation gain over 2.9 km for an average gradient of 5.5%. The start, at 3% between km 0.0 and km 0.5, lets you ease into it. The real difficulty is concentrated between km 0.5 and km 2.5, where the gradient hovers between 6% and 7% with no real respite.

Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't start too fast. On the 3% section from km 0.0 to km 0.5, it's tempting to attack, but save some in the tank for the harder part that follows.
2. Keep a steady cadence. Between km 1.0 and km 2.0, where the gradient reaches 7%, pick a gear that lets you spin at 80 to 90 rpm, staying seated to save energy.
3. Give everything in the final kilometres. From km 2.5 to the finish, over 2.9 km at 6%, gradually build your pace while keeping your breathing controlled and your eyes fixed on the road ahead.
