Climb breakdown: At 9.2 km with 452 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.9%, Yangyu Shan is a tough, steady Cat 1 climb. The hard sections are concentrated in the 10% ramps (KM 0.0-0.5 and KM 5.5-6.0) and the 8% ramps (KM 3.0-3.5 and KM 4.5-5.0), which really test your legs. The almost flat KM 6.0-7.5 stretch gives you a welcome breather before the final part, which is more sustained between 2 and 5%.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Pace your start. The first 500 metres at 10% make you want to go out too hard, so settle into a rhythm you can hold for the whole climb.
2. Make the most of the flat. Between KM 6.0 and KM 7.5, spin easily, drink, and eat to refuel before the last part of the climb.
3. Save something for the end. On the 5% section from KM 8.5-9.0, keep a steady cadence and an appropriate gear so you reach the summit with some strength left.
