Difficulty analysis: This 5.9 km climb with 355 m of elevation gain, at an average gradient of 6%, earns its 1st category rating. The real difficulty is concentrated in the 2.0-2.5 km stretch at 15%, followed by several sections between 10% and 11% (km 2.5-3.0, 3.5-4.5 and 5.0-5.5). The flat sections at km 0.5-1.5 and 3.0-3.5 give you a bit of respite, but they aren't enough to ease off the effort over the long haul.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom. In the first 500 m at 5%, settle into a steady rhythm so you reach the 15% section at km 2.0-2.5 with your head still clear.
2. Use the flats to recover. Make the most of the flat stretches at km 0.5-1.5 and 3.0-3.5 to drink, eat and get your breathing back under control before the road tilts up again.
3. Handle the steepest ramps smartly. On the km 2.0-2.5 section, keep a light gear, stay seated and hold a smooth, steady cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
