Mladoňov is a climb of 7.3 kilometers (category 3). Mladoňov tops out at 609 m above sea level. It is located in Libina, Střední Morava, Česko. The average gradient is 4.3% with a maximum of 7.5%. The climb has 313 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The 4.3% average gradient is misleading: the profile is very uneven, with punchy sections (several stretches at 6-7% between km 1.5 and 4.5) separated by easier parts, including a short slightly downhill flat at km 5.5. The difficulty lies in the changing rhythm the road imposes.
How to manage your effort:
1. Anticipate the gradient changes: Save some energy for the steepest section (km 3.5-4.5 at 7%) and use the downhill flat around 5.5 km to recover without losing speed.
2. Run easy gearing: The uneven profile means frequent gear changes. Stay out of the saddle on the short steep ramps to save your legs.
3. Pace yourself for the long haul: Don't get carried away by the relatively easy start. The climb gets considerably harder after 3 km, so starting at a measured pace is the smart move.
