Difficulty analysis: At 3.9 km for 177 m of climbing with an average gradient of 4.5%, this 3rd category col is doable but demanding. The start is the hardest part, with 7% on KM 0.0-0.5, then 6% on KM 0.5-1.0 and 1.0-1.5, so more than a kilometre of sustained ramps. The rest alternates between rolling sections, like KM 1.5-2.0 and KM 2.5-3.0 at 2-3%, and a 6% kicker on KM 3.0-3.5 that can really bite at the end of your effort.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Save something for later. Don't go out too hard on the 7% of KM 0.0-0.5. Settle into a steady rhythm that will get you through to the end of KM 1.0-1.5.
2. Use the flat bits to recover. On KM 2.5-3.0, where the gradient drops to 2%, catch your breath and shift up a gear or two ahead of the 6% ramp on KM 3.0-3.5.
3. Meter out your effort at the finish. On KM 3.5-3.9, at 4%, keep enough in the legs to finish strong without burning out before the summit.
