Difficulty breakdown: At 4.3 km for 160 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.7%, the Haie des Pauvres climb is rated Cat 3, which makes it an accessible but demanding ascent. The difficulty is concentrated at the start, from km 0.0 to km 2.5, where the gradient fluctuates between 4% and 5%, with a much steeper section at 9% between km 2.0 and km 2.5. Beyond km 3.0, the road becomes almost flat, even slightly downhill between km 3.5 and km 4.0, which gives you some recovery zones. The real effort is therefore mostly in the first half of the climb.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't go out too hard On the steady slopes from km 0.0 to km 2.0, keep a moderate gear and a consistent cadence so you still have legs left for the 9% section.
2. Prepare for the 9% section Between km 2.0 and km 2.5, shift down in time, stay seated if you can, and keep a smooth cadence without mashing the pedals.
3. Recover on the final flat Make use of the stretch from km 3.0 to km 4.0, almost flat or with a slight false-flat descent, to drink, eat and catch your breath before the finale.
