Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 1.6 km climb averages 4.1% over 64 m of elevation gain, which puts it in Category 4. The hardest section comes at the start, between km 0.0 and km 0.6, with a stretch at 10% between km 0.2 and km 0.4. The km 0.8-1.0 section, a slight descent at -3%, gives you a real breather before the final 2-4% section.

Tips for the effort:

1. Pace the start. Don't go out too hard over the first 200 m at 6%, because the 10% ramp comes right after and you want to hit it with fresh legs.

2. Recover on the descent. Between km 0.8 and km 1.0, use the downhill grade to loosen up your legs, catch your breath and settle back into a steady cadence.

3. Hold a steady rhythm. On the km 1.0-1.6 section, at 2-4%, spin a comfortable gear to keep your cadence smooth all the way to the top.
