L'Etape Hill Profile

Here are the average gradients for L’Etape. A little daunting but I now know I can climb a 5% hill quite easily (if not fast) so I am relatively happy with where I am at the moment in terms of climbing ability.



Here is a profile taken from MapMyRide, the whole route is also available here.



I still need to improve overall speed significantly if I am to hit my sub 6 hour goal. I am aiming for 28Km/h on L’Etape and managed 25Km/h over half the distance with only 500m of climbing: Not good enough!
