Difficulty breakdown: At 1.6 km for 55 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.5%, the Ubbergse Holleweg is a short climb, but its difficulty is concentrated in the KM 0.2-0.4 section at 10%. That very steep stretch, followed by KM 0.4-0.6 at 7%, is the heart of the effort and is what earns it its Cat 4 classification. The rest of the route alternates between rolling sections, with a slight descent at KM 0.6-0.8 that offers welcome moments of recovery. The climb is therefore really decided by how you manage those two intense kilometres.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace the start. In KM 0.0-0.2 at 4%, ride within yourself so you reach the foot of the 10% section with enough in the tank.
2. Choose your gear for the steep part. In KM 0.2-0.4 at 10%, go for a low gear and a steady cadence, and stay seated to keep your power going through the pedals.
3. Recover on the descent, then finish strong. Use the -1% stretch at KM 0.6-0.8 to loosen up your legs, then save some energy for KM 1.4-1.6 at 3%, which leads to the finish.
