Benešov is a climb of 9.2 kilometers (category 4). Benešov tops out at 576 m above sea level. It is located in Velké Heraltice, Moravskoslezsko, Česko. The average gradient is 2.5% with a maximum of 5.7%. The climb has 232 meters of elevation gain.
Climb analysis: At 9.2 km, this climb is rated Cat 4 because of its moderate average gradient of 2.5%. The difficulty lies in its irregularity: a succession of 1% sections and short ramps at 4-5%, especially in the final kilometre (5% between 8.0-8.5 km). The total elevation gain of 232m is significant but spread over a long distance.
How to manage the effort:
1. Spin it in endurance mode: The low average gradient lets you hold a steady rhythm. Avoid hard surges on the short 4-5% sections, or you'll pile up fatigue.
2. Make the most of the flat bits: The 1% segments (like between 2.0-3.0 km and 6.0-6.5 km) are ideal for recovering. Ease off the pressure a touch while keeping your cadence up.
3. Save something for the finish: The steepest section (5%) comes in the last kilometre. Pace yourself accordingly so you reach it with something left in the tank.
