Côte de Hogister is a climb of 3.4 kilometers (category 3). Côte de Hogister tops out at 394 m above sea level. It is located in Warisy, Luxembourg, België / Belgique / Belgien. The average gradient is 4.7% with a maximum of 9.4%. The climb has 160 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The 5% average gradient is pretty standard, but the way it's distributed gives you two harder sections at 7% (between 0.5-1.0 km and 1.5-2.0 km), and those are the key sections. The finish is very easy (1% over the last 400 metres), so you get some active recovery there.
Tips for pacing your effort:
1. Managing the two 7% sections: Plan ahead for the two 7% stretches. Hit the first one (0.5-1.0 km) without being gassed, and go into the second one (1.5-2.0 km) with some legs left.
2. Recovering on the easier stretches: Use the sections with lower gradient (3% around 1.0-1.5 km and 1% at the end) to ease off the intensity a little and get your breathing back under control.
3. Keeping a steady rhythm: Hold a consistent effort, a bit under your threshold on the 5% sections, and you'll keep your heart rate in check through the two steep kicks.
