Difficulty breakdown: Křížovky is a steady climb of 4.1 km with 223 m of elevation gain, averaging 5.4%, which makes it a Category 3 climb. There's no truly steep section: most of the road, including km 0.5 to km 1.0, km 1.0 to km 1.5 and km 2.0 to km 2.5, sits around 6%, so you're working hard the whole way with no let-up. The km 1.5 to km 2.0 stretch, at 4%, is the only real breather before the very short final section from km 4.0 to km 4.1.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace your start. The 5% grade from km 0.0 to km 0.5 tempts you to go out too hard, but you need to settle into a steady rhythm from the first pedal strokes.
2. Recover on the breather. Between km 1.5 and km 2.0, at 4%, keep the gear light and your cadence smooth to top up your energy before the run of 6% sections.
3. Save something for the finish. After the 6% sections from km 3.5 to km 4.0, don't blow your last matches too early: the final section, from km 4.0 to km 4.1, is short, and that's where you can go for it.
