Difficulty breakdown: The Bendosari climb (9.1 km at 3.4%) is a typical Cat 2, defined by a moderate but relentless gradient. Its main difficulty is the lack of respite, with only two short sections at 2% (KM 1.5-2.5 and KM 8.0-8.5). The toughest stretch comes between KM 3.5 and KM 5.0, where the gradient hits 6% and then holds at 4% for over a kilometre.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: The 3.4% average gradient lets you settle into a steady tempo. Don't go too hard in the easier opening kilometres.
2. Save something for the middle section: Keep some in the tank for the 6% ramp at halfway (KM 3.5-4.0). Ease off a touch on the 3% sections leading into it so you reach it fresh.
3. Keep your cadence up: The lack of really steep pitches means you can hold a high cadence. Use the last two kilometres (2% then 4%) to gradually step up the pace if you have the legs.
