Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Pacing: Start easy so you don't blow up on the first 6% ramp. Use the less steep section between 1.5 and 2.0 km (4%) to recover before the second little kicker.
2. Anticipate the gradient change: The hardest part (6%) comes after 2 km of climbing. Save something for this final effort before the flat section over the last 200 m.
