Difficulty breakdown: The Beni Ouratilane is a hors catégorie climb with 702 m of elevation gain over 11.4 km, for an average gradient of 6.2%. The first two kilometres at 8% (km 0-1 and km 1-2) set the tone right from the bottom, before a section at 5 and 6% between km 2 and km 8. The km 8-9 stretch at 3% gives you a bit of respite, but km 9-10 at 7% is the most punishing part of the final climb. The km 10-11 descent at -2% is a real recovery, then the final 0.4 km at 4% brings you to the summit.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't go out too hard. The opening kilometres at 8% (km 0-2) are tempting, but a measured cadence will keep you from blowing up before the longest part of the climb.
2. Recover on km 8-9. Use the easier 3% gradient to catch your breath, drink and eat, so you tackle km 9-10 at 7% with energy in the tank.
3. Stay steady between km 2 and km 8. On these 5 and 6% sections, spin an easy gear and hold a steady cadence (around 80 to 90 rpm) to save your legs.
