Difficulty breakdown: The Bsibsa from Oulad Saïdi is a hors catégorie climb covering 8.5 km with 612 m of elevation gain, for an average gradient of 7.2%. The crux comes between KM 1.5 and KM 2.5, where the gradient hits 14%, then 11% at KM 2.5-3.0. After a breather at 0% over KM 5.0-5.5, the road ramps back up to 7% at KM 5.5-6.0 and 9% at KM 7.0-7.5, making the effort uneven and draining. The final kilometres stay tough, with gradients between 6 and 7%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start The first 500 m at 6% give you time to settle into a steady rhythm before the 14% section from KM 1.5 to KM 2.5.
2. Make the most of the flat The KM 5.0-5.5 stretch, practically flat at 0%, is the perfect place to get your breathing back, and to top up your water and energy.
3. Adjust your gearing Shift to an easier gear from KM 7.0-7.5 at 9% so you have enough left in the legs for KM 7.5 to 8.5, still at 6-7%.
