Difficulty breakdown: The Teranga from Rai Valley is a Category 2 climb, 3.8 km long with 238 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.3%. The effort is steady and sustained, with gradients mostly between 6% and 7% on KM 0.0-0.5, 0.5-1.0, 2.0-2.5, 2.5-3.0 and 3.0-3.5. Only KM 1.0-1.5 (2%) and 1.5-2.0 (3%) give you any real respite, which makes this climb demanding on both the lungs and the legs.
Tips for pacing the effort:
1. Pace your start on KM 0.0-0.5: with 6% gradient right from the bottom, ride at a controlled tempo so you don't dig yourself into the red too early.
2. Make the most of the false flat on KM 1.0-1.5: at 2%, this section is ideal for recovering, drinking and fueling up before you push on again into KM 1.5-2.0 at 3%.
3. Save something for the finish: KM 2.5-3.0 at 7% is the steepest part of the second half, and KM 3.5-3.8 at 6% still demands consistency all the way to the line.
