Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb covers 4.7 km for 299 m of elevation gain, an average gradient of 6.4%. The first part, from km 0.0 to km 2.5, is relatively rolling with gradients of 3 to 4%, which lets you find a steady rhythm. The difficulty then ramps up: km 2.5-3.0 at 7%, followed by km 4.0-4.5 at 15% and km 4.5-4.7 at 12%, form the crux, where your legs will be under the most strain.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save your legs early. On the opening kilometres (km 0.0 to 2.5), hold a steady effort and don't go off too hard, because there's still a lot of climbing ahead.
2. Prepare for the ramp. Once the road hits 7% at km 2.5-3.0, shift into a gear you can spin comfortably and get ready for the 11% section at km 3.5-4.0.
3. Finish strong without blowing up. In the final 700 m (km 4.0 to 4.7, gradients of 12 to 15%), keep a smooth, steady cadence, stay seated if you can, and focus on the quality of your pedal stroke rather than your speed.
