Climb analysis: The 大芒达 from Shedizui is a HC climb: 4 km with 570 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 14.2%. The start is brutal, with 18% over 0.0-0.5 km followed by 26% over 0.5-1.0 km, so you need to pace yourself carefully from the get-go. The 2.5-3.5 km stretch, where the gradient goes from 16% to 20%, is the hardest part after the intermediate descents of 1.0-2.0 km.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace the start: don't get carried away on the 26% section from 0.5-1.0 km. Keep your cadence smooth so you arrive with legs left for the rest of the climb.
2. Recover on the descents: make the most of the 1.0-2.0 km sections, where the gradient flips (-7% then -17%), to loosen up your legs while staying ready to get back on the pedals.
3. Shift into an easier gear near the top: on 2.5-3.5 km, with 16% then 20%, hold a steady cadence and plan your food and water stops ahead of time.
