Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 3 climb has a mixed profile. The first half is fairly gentle (gradients of 2% to 5%), but things ramp up noticeably after the 2.5 km mark, with an 8% section that is the steepest part of the climb. The last kilometre keeps a demanding gradient (5-6%).
How to manage your effort:
1. Save something for the end: Don't burn your matches on the flatter early kilometres. Keep some in the tank so you can tackle the hard part from 2.5 km onwards with a bit of composure.
2. Prepare for the change of pace: The gradient jumps abruptly from 4% to 8% at the 2.5 km mark. Get yourself ready, mentally and physically, for that sudden spike in effort.
3. Hold a steady effort: After the 8% peak, the climb stays tough at 5-6%. Don't let off the pressure. Find a rhythm you can sustain all the way to the top.
