Tips

Climb analysis: With 5.4 km for 280 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.2%, the Tizi n'sebt from Bou Abed is a demanding climb, rated Category 1. The climb is uneven: the sections from km 0.0-0.5, km 1.5-2.0 and km 4.5-5.0 hit 11% or 10% and hold most of the difficulty. The easier stretches, like km 2.0-3.0 at 1-2% or km 3.5-4.0 with a slight descent at -1%, give you valuable breathers. The elevation builds steadily, gradually wearing down your legs.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Pace yourself from the bottom. The first 500 metres at 11% tempt you to go out too hard: settle into a smooth cadence right from km 0.0-0.5.

2. Recover on the easier sections. Use the km 2.0-3.0 stretch at 1-2% and the km 3.5-4.0 section at -1% to relax your shoulders and refill your energy before what's coming next.

3. Save something for the finish. The km 4.5-5.0 section at 10% comes just before km 5.0-5.4 at 2%, so save your biggest effort for the steep part before the summit.
