Červený kopec is a climb of 9.2 kilometers (category 2). Červený kopec tops out at 632 m above sea level. It is located in okres Olomouc, Střední Morava, Česko. The average gradient is 3.9% with a maximum of 8.5%. The climb has 359 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This category 2 climb is moderately hard, mainly because of its average gradient of 3.9% over 9.2 km. The real challenge is how uneven the profile is: three sections at 7% in the first few kilometres (0-0.5km, 2.5-3.5km), then a demanding stretch between 2.5km and 5.5km (gradients of 7%, 6%, 6%, 6%) that calls for disciplined pacing. The descending false flat at KM 4.0-4.5 gives you a short breather.
Pacing advice:
1. Start controlled: Don't go over the top on the first 7% ramps. Save something for the hard section starting at KM 2.5.
2. Steady rhythm on the steep stretches: Pick a gear you can turn over consistently across the four consecutive kilometres above 6% (KM 2.5 to 5.5).
3. Active recovery: Use the short downhill false flat (KM 4.0-4.5) to ease off a little without losing momentum, before the gradient kicks back up to 6%.
