Difficulty analysis: A short climb (3.4 km) but relentlessly steady, rightly rated Category 3. The difficulty lies in a sustained average gradient of 6.6%, holding at 7% for nearly 3 km. The slightly easier finish (5%) only offers a brief respite.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pacing: Don't go out too hard. The gradient is even over most of the climb, so find a gear that lets you keep a steady cadence from the first kilometre.
2. Focus on the middle section: The 2 km between the 0.5 and 2.5 marks are the hardest stretch (significant total elevation gain). Prepare mentally and physically for this sustained effort at 7%.
3. Using the finish: The last section (3.0-3.4 km at 5%) is less steep. If you've paced yourself well, this is the time to pick up the pace a little and finish strong.
