Climb analysis: This 3.4 km climb with 148 m of elevation gain, averaging 4.4%, is rated Category 1 and demands a sustained but steady effort. The opening stretch (km 0.0-0.5) at 5%, and especially the km 1.0-1.5 section at 6%, are the most demanding parts. After a flat section from km 0.5-1.0 at 0%, the road becomes more rolling between km 1.5 and km 3.0 (2 to 3%), before a final push at 6% from km 3.0-3.4.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. Don't get carried away over the first 500 metres at 5%, and settle into a steady cadence right from the foot of the climb.
2. Make the most of the flat. The km 0.5-1.0 section at 0% is ideal for recovering, drinking and picking up the pace ahead of the 6% section that follows.
3. Save something for the finish. Between km 1.5 and km 3.0, ride at a controlled pace so you have enough in the tank for the 6% finale over km 3.0-3.4.
