Climb difficulty: This 5.9 km climb, with 182 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.1%, is rated Category 4. The difficulty is concentrated in the first three kilometres, where the gradient varies from 4% to 6% and you gain roughly 148 m of altitude. After km 3.0, the road eases noticeably, with 3% then 1 to 2%, and the final section (km 5.0-5.9) is almost flat. The effort is therefore intense but concentrated, followed by a recovery section.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace your start. Don't go out too hard on the 4% section from km 0.0-0.5, so you have something left for the 6% stretch from km 2.0-3.0.
2. Keep a smooth cadence. On the 5 and 6% sections (km 0.5-3.0), choose a light gear and a steady cadence to limit muscle fatigue build-up.
3. Recover on the rolling section. Use km 3.5-5.0, where the gradient drops to 1 or 2%, to ease off slightly, drink, and find your rhythm again before the almost flat finish.
