Difficulty breakdown: At 17.2 km, with 742 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.3%, Phagwari Gali is a long, demanding climb, rated beyond category. The first three kilometres are almost flat rolling, then the road rises steadily between 4% and 6% from km 4 to km 15, which gradually wears down the legs. The decisive point comes at km 16-17, with a 12% ramp over 126 m of climbing, just before a short descent.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Save your energy from the start. Use the first 0 to 3 km, which are not steep, to find a steady rhythm rather than going out too hard.
2. Spin smoothly through the middle section. Between km 4 and 9, where the gradient hovers between 4% and 6%, keep a steady cadence in a gear you can hold for a long time.
3. Keep something in the tank for the finale. Tackle the 12% ramp from km 16 to 17 seated, with a smooth cadence, having kept some energy in reserve.
