Climb difficulty: Kopalina from Niebylec is a demanding climb over 4.3 km, averaging 4.9% for 208 m of elevation gain. The gradient is uneven: the hard work is concentrated between km 1.0 and km 1.5 (7%), then mainly between km 1.5 and km 2.0, where the gradient hits 9%, the toughest section. After a breather at km 2.5-3.0 (2%), a short steep ramp at 6% between km 3.0 and km 3.5 comes before a more rolling finish, with a slight false flat downhill (-1%) over km 4.0-4.3.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first 500 metres at 6% tempt you to push a high pace; keep a smooth cadence so you reach the foot of the 9% section with something left in your legs.
2. Manage your effort between km 1.5 and km 2.0. This section calls for a steady cadence, the right gear and controlled breathing, with no unnecessary surges.
3. Recover at km 2.5-3.0. This 2% stretch is your chance to spin the legs out, drink, and get ready for the restart on the 6% ramp between km 3.0 and km 3.5.
