Difficulty breakdown: At 23.8 km for 1,665 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7%, the Kufri from Jagora is a serious HC climb. The hard work comes in the 6.0 to 10.0 km stretch, where the gradient hits 9-10%, and then the block from km 18.0 to km 20.0, with 12% between km 19.0 and km 20.0. Between km 11.0 and km 18.0, the road eases off noticeably and gives you some real recovery zones, but the 8% section between km 22.0 and km 23.0 still bites before the finish.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. Km 0.0 to 6.0, with gradients of 3-7%, should be ridden at a steady pace so you still have something left for the 6.0 to 10.0 block.
2. Manage your effort on the 9-10% sections. Between km 6.0 and km 10.0, stay in the saddle, keep a smooth cadence, and avoid surges that will drain your legs before the next block.
3. Make the most of the flat section from km 11.0 to km 18.0. Drink, eat, and recover so you tackle the 12% ramp from km 19.0 to km 20.0 with a clear head, then the final push from km 22.0 to km 23.0.
