Difficulty analysis: La Montaña Blanca from Tías covers 7.4 km for 268 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 3.6% and a Category 3 classification. The hardest section is between 0.5 and 3.0 km, with several stretches at 6%, then the gradient stays sustained at 4 to 5% up to 5.5 km. Beyond that, the road becomes almost flat, so the climb is fairly progressive overall.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. On the 0.0-0.5 km section at 3%, stay in Z2 so you reach the 6% part fresh.
2. Keep a smooth cadence on the 6% sections. Between 0.5 and 1.5 km, then between 2.0 and 3.0 km, choose a gear that lets you spin steadily without mashing the pedals.
3. Use the final flat to recover. Between 5.5 and 7.0 km, the gradient is zero or negative: this is the ideal moment to drink and eat before the last 4% section over 7.0-7.4 km.
