Difficulty breakdown: With 11.1 km for 534 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.8%, this Cat 1 climb is tough but progressive over its first half. Km 0 to 6 only show gradients between 0 and 5%, so you can keep a strong tempo without blowing up. The real damage is between km 7 and 9, with 12% then 14% ramps, before a final 6% section to the summit.
Tips for the effort:
1. Save your legs until km 7. Ride at a steady pace over the first kilometres so you reach the foot of the steepest section with enough in the tank.
2. Run an easy gear between km 7 and 9. Spin a smooth, consistent cadence and stay seated to keep your power even on the 12% and 14% ramps.
3. Hold a steady effort in the final section. Between km 9 and 11, at 6%, keep a steady rhythm all the way to the top and don't ease off too early.
