Climb difficulty breakdown: This 10 km climb averages a demanding 6.5%, rated HC. The main challenge is its inconsistency, with one particularly steep kilometer at 9% (KM 3.0-4.0) and several sections at 7% that break your rhythm.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Plan for the tough 9% section around the 4th kilometer. Hold back from the start so you don't blow up on this key stretch.
2. Steady rhythm: Keep your power or heart rate constant. With the gradient changing often, adjust your gear ratio rather than your underlying intensity.
3. Active recovery: Use the brief breathers (KM 4.0-5.0 and KM 8.0-9.0 at 5%) to ease off the pressure a little without slowing down abruptly.
