Difficulty breakdown: With 4.4 km for 148 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.4%, this category 3 climb is within reach of any regular rider. The real crux is between KM 0.5-1.0, with 7% gradient, then the final section from KM 4.0-4.4 at 6%. The KM 1.0-2.0 stretch gives you a breather at 1-2%, and KM 2.0-2.5 dips slightly (-1%), which lets you recover before the harder second half.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom (KM 0.0-1.0) Don't get carried away by the initial 5%. Keep a smooth cadence so you reach the 7% section without already being flat out.
2. Recover on the false flats (KM 1.0-2.0 and 2.0-2.5) Make the most of the easier gradients and the slight descent to get your breathing back, drink, and take on some fuel.
3. Manage the finish (KM 4.0-4.4) Save something for the last stretch at 6%, choose a suitable gear, and stay in the saddle as much as possible to keep a steady rhythm.
