Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 5 km climb with 294 m of elevation gain averages 5.9%, which makes it a category 2 climb. The start is rolling, with 1% between km 0.5 and 1.0, before a steady grind that gets noticeably steeper. The real difficulty is in the second half, with 8% between km 3.5 and 5.0, and there's no real place to recover on the way up.

Tips for pacing the effort:

1. Don't go out too hard. Use the rolling section between km 0.5 and 1.0 to settle into your rhythm and save your legs for what comes next.

2. Manage the 8% sections. Between km 1.5 and 2.0, then km 3.5 to 5.0, stay in a moderate gear and spin a relaxed cadence to avoid building up fatigue.

3. Save something for the finish. The final stretch, at a constant 8% between km 4.0 and 5.0, calls for holding some energy in reserve, because the effort stays hard all the way to the summit.
