Difficulty breakdown: Munghorn Gap is a short but steady climb: 5.1 km with 187 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.6%, which puts it in Category 3. The real difficulty is between km 0.5 and km 1.0, where the road kicks up to 10% over 546 m. That's the crux of the climb. After the flat from km 1.0 to km 2.0, the gradient ramps back up to 6-7% between km 3.0 and km 4.0, a section that grinds your legs with no let-up. The final 130 m dip slightly to -3%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. The first kilometre already averages 4%, so don't go out too hard before the 10% section from km 0.5 to km 1.0.
2. Recover on the flat. Make the most of the km 1.0 to km 2.0 stretch, the only section without gradient, to drink, eat and find your rhythm again.
3. Keep a steady cadence. Between km 3.0 and km 4.0, at 6-7%, pick a comfortable gear and hold a smooth cadence so you don't burn out.
