Difficulty breakdown: Seli from Patrída is a HC climb, 25.2 km long with 1372 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.5%. It's a long, sustained effort, since most of the kilometres sit between 4% and 9%. The steepest sections are km 1-3 (10%), km 7-8 (8%), km 12-13 (8%) and especially km 21-23 (9% then 8%), where the accumulated fatigue will be at its peak. Only the flat section at km 4-5 (0%) and the short descent at km 17-18 (-2%) offer any real respite.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace the start. The first three kilometres at 10% need to be taken easy so you don't blow up, leaving something in the tank for the rest of the climb.
2. Recover on the flats. Use the km 4-5 section at 0% and the descent at km 17-18 to drink, eat and loosen up your legs before the hard sections.
3. Keep a steady cadence in the final part. On the km 21-23 stretch at 8-9%, spin an easy gear and save enough energy for the last kilometres at 6% and then 3%.
