The climb

Lin Noir climbs 7.4 km at an average of 7.9%, gaining 585 m to a summit at 1,284 m. It is an unusually even climb — the per-kilometre gradients cluster tightly around the average, so what the number says is what the road does.

The hardest kilometre measures 9.1% and comes in the middle third of the climb, and 2 kilometres of the ascent average more than 8%. The final kilometre eases to 5.8%, which is where the climb gives something back.
