Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb has a progressive gradient. The first half (KM 0.0-2.0) is relatively moderate, with 3% to 5% grades, which gives you time to settle in. The difficulty ramps up after that with a 6% section (KM 2.5-3.0), and it finishes with a tough 8% kick over the last 200 metres. Managing your effort is crucial because of that steep finish.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself on the opening section to avoid blowing up early, and make the most of the easier 3%-5% gradients.
2. Save something for the final stretch (KM 3.5-3.7), keeping some energy in reserve for the steep 8% ramp at the top.
3. Hold a steady rhythm through the 6% section (KM 2.5-3.0), which is the longest sustained gradient on the climb.
