Difficulty analysis: At 9.1 km with 461 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.1%, Jestrabi is a demanding Category 1 climb that gives you very little respite. The gradient is sustained right from the start, with stretches at 7% and 8% between km 2.0 and 4.0, then 8% again between km 7.5 and 8.0. The section from km 7.0 to 7.5, at 2%, is the only real recovery, and the short descent from km 6.5 to 7.0 isn't enough to get your legs back.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Ease into the climb. Km 0.0 to 2.0, at 4-6%, feels easy, but don't go out too hard or you'll have nothing left for the rest.
2. Hold your rhythm on the steepest part. Between km 3.0 and 4.0, at 8%, stay in the saddle, use an appropriate gear and keep a steady cadence.
3. Finish strong after the false flat. Use km 7.0-7.5 to recover, then kick back up through 7.5-8.0 at 8%, and manage the final kilometers, at 6% and then 4%, all the way to the summit.
