Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom Don't go out too hard over the first 1.0 km at 6%, or you'll pay dearly for that enthusiasm when the road kicks up to 8% between KM 1.0 and KM 1.5.
2. Hold a steady rhythm on the 8% section Stay seated, pick a gear you can spin comfortably and keep a consistent cadence so you don't dig yourself into the red.
3. Recover between the sections Use the 4% from KM 1.5 to KM 2.0 to catch your breath, then push the pace a little on the final flat from KM 2.5 to KM 2.7.
