Difficulty breakdown: The Kaman from Bārachīn is a tough 12.6 km climb with 697 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.5%, which earns it a Cat 1 rating. The first three kilometres (KM 0.0-1.0, 1.0-2.0 and 2.0-3.0) at 3% let you turn the pedals at a good clip without burning your legs. The real pain is between KM 6.0-7.0 (8%) and KM 7.0-8.0 (10%), the steepest section, before a steady second half at 6 to 8%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save your legs early on. On KM 0.0-1.0 and the following 3% sections, stay in your endurance zone and don't blow your energy before the heart of the climb.
2. Prepare for the KM 7.0-8.0 wall. Shift into an easier gear from KM 6.0-7.0 (8%) and keep a smooth cadence so you hit the 10% ramp without lurching.
3. Keep it steady to the top. On the final kilometres at 8% (KM 10.0-11.0, 11.0-12.0 and 12.0-12.6), hold a constant effort and don't try to attack before the finish line.
