Rennix Gap is a climb of 13.4 kilometers (category 1). Rennix Gap tops out at 1,599 m above sea level. It is located in Snowy Monaro Regional Council, New South Wales, Australia. The average gradient is 5.1% with a maximum of 10.2%. The climb has 684 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This Cat 1 climb is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. The 5.1% average gradient hides some big swings, with four nasty 7% sections (KM 2-3, 7-9, 11-12 and the finale). The hardest kilometer is KM 11.0-12.0 (7%, 70m of climbing). KM 5.0-6.0 at 2% is the only real breather.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Managing the changes of pace: Know where the four 7% sections are so you can adjust your effort and avoid blowing up. Use the 3-4% stretches to recover.
2. Save something for the finale: Don't go too hard too early. The last 400 meters at 7% demand real power, so keep some legs in reserve for that final ramp.
3. Choose a forgiving gear: With gradients this varied, a gear range that lets you adapt is key to keeping a steady cadence without grinding your legs.
