Difficulty analysis: This Category 2 climb is moderately hard, thanks to its manageable distance (3.2 km) and total elevation gain of 172m. The real crux is the brutal section between km 0.5 and 1.0, where the gradient hits 12%. That stretch alone accounts for more than a third of the total climbing (59m). The rest of the route alternates between easier sections (1% between 1.5-2.0 km) and moderate gradients (4-7%), giving you a few chances to recover.
Pacing tips:
1. Start controlled: Don't go off too hard over the first 500m at 2%. Save your legs for the 12% wall that comes right after.
2. Handle the peak: Get your gearing sorted before the first half-kilometre is done, so you're ready for the 12% ramp. Keep a steady, controlled cadence through this section. Going too hard here is the fastest way to blow your reserves early.
3. Use the recovery sections: Take advantage of the flattest part (1% between 1.5-2.0 km) to recover actively: ease off the pressure, drink, and refuel before the tougher final gradients (6% and 7%).
