Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb covers 14.8 km and is brutal, with an average gradient of 7.6% and 1130m of elevation gain. Three particularly steep sections make it harder still: km 1-2 (11%), km 6-7 (12%), and the finale (10% over the last 800m). Km 7-8 at 2% is the only real respite.

Pacing tips:

1. Ride at a steady pace by setting your power or heart rate for the 7.6% average gradient. Avoid overcooking it on the 11-12% ramps.

2. Make the most of the 2% stretch (km 7-8) to recover actively (spin easy, keep drinking) before the tough sections in the second half.

3. Save something for the finale, which hits 10% for 800m after 14 km of climbing, so manage your effort carefully.
