Difficulty breakdown: At just 1.5 km with 42 m of elevation gain for an average gradient of 2.8%, the Kalleberg is a short, approachable climb, rated 4th category. The real crux comes between KM 0.4-0.6 and 0.6-0.8, where the gradient hits 6% for over 400 metres. The rest of the climb alternates between 2% and 4% in the early section, then 2% to 3% in the final part, which gives you a chance to recover between the steepest sections.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. On the first 2% stretch (KM 0.0-0.2), keep a smooth cadence so you still have legs left when you reach the 6% section.
2. Prepare for the 6% ramp. Shift into an easier gear by KM 0.4-0.6 and hold a steady cadence, without surging or wasting energy on unnecessary accelerations.
3. Make the most of the flat finish. On KM 1.4-1.5, where it levels out at 0%, get the pedals turning again and build your speed back up before crossing the finish line.
