Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 1 climb is moderately hard over its 7.9 km. The profile is varied, with a steep 8% section between km 1.5 and 2.0 and a short downhill false flat (-1%) from km 2.0 to 2.5. The second half is more consistent, with gradients between 4% and 7%, so you'll need to hold a sustained effort.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the start: Don't go with the natural surge in the first few km at 5%. Use the false flat around km 2.5 to recover and take on food and fluids.
2. Finding a steady rhythm: After the false flat, settle into a steady cadence for the final 5 km, which hold a fairly constant average gradient of around 5%.
3. Saving something for the finish: The last 900 meters at 6%, then 4%, let you finish strong without blowing up. Keep some in the tank for that final part.
