Difficulty breakdown: At 10.1 km with 672 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.7%, the Yangyu Shan from Huihui is a HC climb, and its difficulty lies in how steady it is. The hardest part comes between km 2 and km 6, where 8% and 9% sections follow one another, with the km 6 to 7 stretch at 9% being the toughest. The km 0 to 2 section at 6% gives you a chance to warm up, while km 7 to 10 eases off gradually, down to 3% between km 9 and 10. The real challenge is therefore one of duration and pacing through the middle section.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start Don't go too hard on the 6% from km 0 to 2, because the long 8% and 9% section that follows will take a heavy toll on your legs.
2. Handle the 9% ramp From km 6 to 7, stay seated if you can, select a suitable gear and keep a steady cadence to save your energy.
3. Prepare for the finish Use the easing gradient from km 7 to km 10 to recover and gradually build back up, as the gradient drops to 3% between km 9 and 10.
