Difficulty analysis: This 4 km climb, averaging 6.7% with 272 m of elevation gain, is rated Category 1 and demands a sustained effort. The challenge lies mainly in its consistency: apart from the 0.5-1.0 km section at 3%, the gradient stays between 7% and 10% over almost the entire ascent. The hardest part comes between 2.5 and 3.0 km, at 10%, before a 3.5-4.0 km stretch at just 1% that offers a final breather.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom. On the 0.0-0.5 km section at 7%, ride at a steady tempo so you don't burn through your matches before the middle part.
2. Recover on the 3% section. Use the 0.5-1.0 km stretch, the least steep part of the climb, to drink, eat, and find a smooth rhythm again.
3. Save something for the finish. Tackle the 2.5-3.0 km section at 10% seated, with a light, spinning cadence, then save your last legs for the 3.5-4.0 km at 1%.
