Difficulty breakdown: HC climb of 20.1 km for 832 m of elevation gain at an average gradient of 4.1%. The first 8 km are relatively rolling, with gradients between 2 and 4%, before a steeper ramp at 8% around km 8-9. The real test comes in the final section, from km 16 to km 20, where the gradient goes from 5% to 8% and will really hurt your legs toward the top.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom. The km 0-1 section at 4% should be taken at a controlled tempo so you still have something in the tank for a climb this long.
2. Prepare for the 8% ramp at km 8-9. Anticipate this stretch by shifting into an easy gear and keeping a steady cadence.
3. Save something for the finale. From km 16 to km 20, with gradients of 5 to 8%, you'll need enough power left to finish without falling apart.
