Difficulty breakdown: At 6.2 km, with 633 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 10.1%, the Nigale Bazar from Pidalubari is a demanding HC climb. The start is the hardest part, with 13% over KM 0.0-0.5 and then 15% over KM 0.5-1.0, so you need to be in the right position from the very first hundred metres. The gradient stays tough after that: between KM 2.0 and KM 5.0, it hovers between 9% and 12%, with no real respite. Only KM 1.5-2.0 (5%) and KM 5.0-5.5 (4%) give you a breather.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first two kilometres at 13-15% are tempting to attack, but an over-cooked start will cost you dearly over the last 4 kilometres.
2. Recover on the easier sections. Use KM 1.5-2.0 (5%) and KM 5.0-5.5 (4%) to sit up, drink, and catch your breath before picking up the pace again.
3. Keep a steady rhythm to the top. Between KM 2.0 and KM 5.0, hold a consistent cadence and an appropriate gear, then empty the tank over KM 5.5-6.0 (9%).
