Difficulty breakdown: At 2.2 km for 61 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 2.7%, this 4th category climb is within reach for most climbers. The real test is the first section, where the opening 1.5 km (0.0 to 1.5 km) hold a steady 4% that eats into your legs with no real respite. The last kilometre eases off noticeably, with 2% between 1.5 and 2.0 km, then a flat 0% section to the finish.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace your start. Don't go out too hard on the 0.0 to 0.5 km section at 4%. Save some in the tank for the kilometres that follow.
2. Hold a steady rhythm. Between 0.5 and 1.5 km, settle into a consistent cadence on the 4% gradients rather than chasing every surge from the riders around you.
3. Finish strong. On the 1.5 to 2.0 km stretch at 2%, build your speed progressively to make the most of the easier gradient, and hit the flat from 2.0 to 2.2 km at full gas.
