Difficulty breakdown: This 4 km climb with 219 m of elevation gain averages 5.5%, which puts it in Category 3. The real challenge is the consistency of effort, because no section is truly flat, and the gradient hits 6% from km 1.0-1.5, then 7% from km 1.5-2.0. The steepest parts are km 2.0-2.5 and km 3.0-3.5, both at 8%, and these are the real danger zones. Only the km 0.0-0.5 section, at 2%, offers a relatively gentle start.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Hold back at the start. On the km 0.0-0.5 section, at just 2%, resist the urge to go out too hard so you have something left for what comes next.
2. Prepare for the 8%. Shift into an easy gear before km 2.0-2.5 and km 3.0-3.5, and stay seated to keep a steady cadence.
3. Recover before the finish. The km 3.5-4.0 section, at 3%, gives you some relative respite: make the most of it to recover, then gradually build back up toward the summit.
