Difficulty analysis:
This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The profile is fairly steady, with a tougher central section (km 1.0 to 2.0 at 7%) that makes up the core of the climb. The finish is gradual, with the gradient easing to 3-4%, giving you a welcome breather.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing the middle section: Expect the gradient to ramp up from the first kilometre. Don't go out too hard, and dial in your effort so you can hold a steady rhythm over that 7%.
2. Using the finish to recover: Once you pass the hardest point (around km 2.5), the gradient eases off. Use that stretch to get your breathing back under control and set up a sprint finish if you've got the legs for it.
