Difficulty breakdown: At 10.8 km long, with 462 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.3%, the Tizi Tikit from Tasottift is a first-category climb that is demanding but very doable. The first 5 km, at 2% to 3%, are fairly rolling and give you time to find your rhythm. The hard part comes between km 5.0 and km 10.0, with gradients of 5% and a kick up to 10% between km 7.0 and km 8.0. The final 0.8 km, at 3%, offer a bit of respite before the summit.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Save your legs at the start In the opening kilometres at 2% and 3%, ride at a steady effort so you reach the steep section with some energy left.
2. Prepare for the 10% ramp Between km 7.0 and km 8.0, shift to an easier gear before the ramp and keep a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Hold it together on the 5% sections Between km 8.0 and km 10.0, keep your effort constant and drink regularly, because the fatigue builds up over these last kilometres.
