Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb covers 5.5 km for 241 m of elevation gain, an average gradient of 4.4%, which makes it demanding without being extreme. The first half is deceptive: KM 0.0 to 2.0 feels rolling, with grades of 1 to 4%, before a short descent at KM 2.0-2.5. The real difficulty is between KM 3.0 and 5.5, where the gradient bounces between 6% and 8% over a sustained stretch, slowly grinding down your legs.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Set your pace from the bottom: over the first few kilometres (KM 0.0-1.5, grades of 3 to 4%), keep the effort moderate so you still have something in the tank for the final section.
2. Recover on the descent: use the short downhill at KM 2.0-2.5 to spin out your legs and get your breath back before the steeper section starting at KM 3.0.
3. Hold a steady rhythm on the 8% ramps: through KM 3.0-3.5 and 4.0-4.5, favour a smooth, even cadence and avoid surging, which would only blow you up before the summit.
