It could be because of the heavy rental bike, but the climb was very hard. The percentages mentioned with the climb are a bit distorted since the last kilometers are flat, the averages up to Col de la Croisette are very hard (one km of 13％, steepest 100 meters 16％). Despite that, it is a nice climb with nice views of Geneva from the top. Little traffic and reasonable tarmac.
