Climb analysis: At 3.3 km, with an average gradient of 8.9% and 291 m of elevation gain, the climb of 三条青 from Shanwai is logically rated Cat 1. The profile is uneven: KM 0.0-0.5 kicks up at 4%, KM 0.5-1.0 is pretty much flat (0%), then the real work starts between KM 1.0 and KM 3.0 with sections at 9%, 10%, 7% and 11%. It's mostly this string of sustained ramps, with no real respite, that makes the col so demanding, with KM 3.0-3.3 still at 7%.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace your start: On KM 0.0-0.5 at 4%, settle into a steady rhythm and don't go out too hard, because there's still more than 2.5 km of sustained gradient ahead.
2. Recover on the flat: Use the 0% section of KM 0.5-1.0 to recover, get your position back and spin a relaxed cadence before the real climbing begins.
3. Prepare for the 11% ramp: Hit KM 2.5-3.0 with a suitable gear and a steady cadence, then hold that effort through KM 3.0-3.3 at 7% to finish strong.
