Tung Chung Road is a climb of 2.7 kilometers (category 1). Tung Chung Road tops out at 284 m above sea level. It is located in 貝澳 Pui O, 香港 Hong Kong, 中国. The average gradient is 10.5% with a maximum of 17.3%. The climb has 287 meters of elevation gain.
Climb difficulty: This short (2.7 km) but brutal climb averages a very steep 10.5%, which easily earns it its Cat 1 rating. The real challenge is how uneven it is: a central kilometer (0.5-1.0 km) at 12%, followed by a very steep final stretch (2.0-2.5 km) at 13% that demands sustained effort.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The opening section is "relatively" gentler at 9%. Use it to find a good rhythm without blowing your heart rate sky-high right away.
2. Prepare for the two "walls": Save some matches for the 12% section and especially the 13% pitch around the 2.0 km mark. If you can, shift to the small chainring before that last ramp for a brief recovery.
3. Gearing: Because the climb is so short, you'll be riding close to threshold. Choose a gear that lets you hold a sustainable cadence (70-80 rpm) on the 13% gradients.
