Having ridden that climb several times, definitely go aero. If you lose anything to the extra weight on the steeper middle section you'll gain it all back and more on the long top section which is basically a false-flat.
Thanks for the tips. The race was on Tuesday but unfortunately my ride up to Yorkshire couldn’t make it so I didn’t get to ride ☹️
Bummer as I’ve got some good form just now.
