Tips

Difficulty breakdown: With 2.7 km for 202 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7.4%, the Przełęcz Przysłopek is rated Category 2. The start, from KM 0.0 to KM 1.0, is rolling at 4% then 3%. The real difficulty comes next, between KM 1.0 and KM 1.5 at 14%, the true crux of the climb, before a more steady section at 9% then 7%. The KM 2.5-2.7 stretch at 12% demands one last push to the summit.

Tips for pacing yourself:

1. Save your legs at the bottom On the KM 0.0-0.5 section at 4%, spin an easy gear and roll in fresh for the 14% ramp.

2. Manage your gearing between KM 1.0 and 1.5 Shift down to a small chainring as soon as the 14% ramp starts, stay seated and keep a steady cadence rather than mashing the pedals.

3. Save something for the finish The KM 2.5-2.7 stretch at 12% is short but steep, so hold back a final acceleration for the last few hundred metres to the summit.
