Tips

Difficulty analysis: The Gunung Bedali is a demanding HC climb, with 694 m of elevation gain over 5.8 km at an average gradient of 11.9%. The hardest section runs from km 1.0 to km 2.5, where the gradient hits 18 to 21% over 1.5 km straight. After a relative respite between km 2.5 and km 4.5 (gradients of 1 to 11%), the climb resumes from km 4.5 to km 5.8 with stretches at 10%, 17%, then 20% all the way to the top.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Pace yourself from km 1.0. On the 21% ramp, find a steady rhythm and avoid spiking your effort off the line. Going too hard there will leave you empty before the steepest part is over.

2. Make the most of the breather between km 3.0 and km 3.5. On this 1% stretch, drink, eat and get your breathing back under control so you tackle the second half of the climb in better shape.

3. Save something for the finish. The 20% section from km 5.5 to 5.8 comes after several kilometres of sustained climbing, so spare your legs and pick a gear you can manage, so you still have something left to attack over the last few hundred metres.
