Difficulty breakdown: At 10.8 km for 555 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.1%, the Kertowono from Kajaran is a demanding first-category climb. The difficulty lies mainly in its consistency: no section gives you a real break, with the gradient varying from 2% at km 1.0-2.0 to 7% at km 6.0-7.0 and 7.0-8.0. Those two kilometres, the steepest on the profile, are the ones most likely to hurt your legs. The finale, with 6% at km 9.0-10.0 and then 5% at km 10.0-10.8, will require you to save something in the tank.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard The 4% at km 0.0-1.0 followed by the 2% at km 1.0-2.0 give you room to settle into a steady rhythm without blowing your matches before the steepest sections.
2. Prepare for km 6.0 to 8.0 Facing the 7% of km 6.0-7.0 and 7.0-8.0, opt for an easier gear and a steady cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Manage your effort in the finale After the 5% of km 8.0-9.0, keep enough in reserve for the 6% of km 9.0-10.0 and the final 800 metres at 5%.
