Pacing tips:
1. Handle the changes in gradient: Watch for the gradient changes, especially the 16% spike. Drop into an easier gear before the steep sections so you can keep a smooth, steady cadence.
2. Ride at a steady pace: Base your effort on the 8% average. Don't go over the top in the early kilometres, which are easier, so you save your legs for the middle and final sections, which are harder.
3. Save something for the finish: The last kilometres (5.0-6.7) hold a sustained gradient of 7-9%. Keep some energy in reserve for this final part so you don't blow up.
