Difficulty breakdown: At 12 km for 598 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5%, the climb of El Aazla from ’Aïn N’Sara is rated HC and demands a sustained effort from start to finish. The start is straight up with 7% over the first kilometre, followed by a rollier section from km 1 to km 4 (2% then 0%) that lets you get the legs turning again. The second half is tough, with steady gradients between 4% and 8%, and the hardest stretch sits between km 9 and km 10 at 8%. The length of the climb and the repeated ramps wear down your legs little by little.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't go out too hard On the first kilometre at 7%, stay in the saddle and spin an easy gear so you still have something in the tank for the long middle section.
2. Make the most of the flat Between km 3 and km 4, at 0%, drink, eat and recover for a few moments so you tackle the second half in better shape.
3. Prepare for the km 9 to km 10 section This 8% stretch is the toughest part of the route: keep a steady cadence and save enough energy to get through it without losing your rhythm.
