Difficulty breakdown: Niigi Niigi from Korora Bay is a 5.4 km climb with 300 m of elevation gain at an average gradient of 5.5%, which earns it a Category 1 classification. The first few kilometres, between 3% and 6%, demand a strong but steady tempo that lets you settle into the effort. The real difficulty is concentrated between km 3.0 and km 4.0, where the gradient hits 11% and then 12%, before a short descent from km 4.0 to km 4.5 and another section at 10% between km 4.5 and km 5.0.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save something in the tank at the start In the first kilometres at 6%, look for a steady rhythm and don't go out too hard, so you still have legs left for the steepest part.
2. Adjust your gearing for the 12% section Between km 3.0 and km 4.0, choose a gear light enough to keep a high cadence, and stay seated if you can't stand up out of the saddle without losing your rhythm.
3. Use the descent to recover Take advantage of the short downhill from km 4.0 to km 4.5 to recover, hydrate and get your legs turning again before attacking the 10% ramp from km 4.5 to km 5.0.
