This stretch accounts for most of the climbing. The start (3%) and the finish (4% then 2%) are more manageable and give you a chance to recover.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing the hard section: Start ramping up your effort from the first half-kilometre. Don't go out too hard, and settle into a rhythm you can hold over the 2.5 km at 7%.
2. Make the most of the easier sections: The first kilometre (3%) is the place to settle into your effort. The final part (after KM 3.0) is your chance to ease off the pressure and push the pace if you have anything left in the tank.
3. Spin a high cadence: An average gradient of 5.8% suits a smooth, high cadence (80-90 rpm). It saves your legs and keeps your breathing under control over the length of the climb.
