Stirling is a climb of 7.3 kilometers (category 3). Stirling tops out at 483 m above sea level. It is located in Mylor, South Australia, Australia. The average gradient is 2.8% with a maximum of 7.4%. The climb has 203 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The average gradient of 2.8% looks gentle, but the profile is uneven. The real challenge is the first 3 km at 4-5%, followed by a downhill and flat stretch in the middle (KM 4.0-5.5) that breaks your rhythm, before the gradient ramps back up to a significant 4-5% over the last 1.5 km.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Start steady: Don't get carried away by the first kilometres at 4-5%. Save some in the tank for the finish.
2. Make the most of the descent: Use the downhill and flat section (KM 4.0-5.5) to recover actively and prepare for the final effort.
3. Be ready for the finish: The last segment (from KM 5.5) is demanding. Tackle it in an easy gear to keep your cadence up.
