The Kanarieberg rises north-west on the edge of Ronse, taking an asphalt road towards the woodland above. The name suggests a modest local hill, but the sustained slope gives the ascent more weight than that impression allows. Trees belong to the higher setting, and the turn beyond the climb leads further into the woods. Before that change of scene, the road itself occupies most of the rider's attention, with enough climbing to make a passing acceleration difficult to sustain.
The selected ascent runs for about 920 metres at an average gradient close to 9%. That combination makes it longer in effort than the brief cobbled ramps nearby, while the surface allows a cleaner rhythm under the tyres. The slope varies within the ascent, asking for adjustments without changing its overall uphill purpose. Reaching the upper road brings a welcome widening of attention. Kanarieberg is a substantial little climb with a wooded conclusion.

How long would it take?
Enter the power you could hold for the whole climb. We calculate a moving time from the elevation profile and the forces you ride against.
Use your intended climbing effort, rather than FTP unless you can hold it for the predicted duration.

The science behind the calculation
For each part of the stored profile, we solve the steady-state cycling power equation for speed, then add distance ÷ speed across the climb. Gravity uses rider + equipment weight; available power is W/kg × rider weight. This uses the profile’s distance and elevation together, without mixing in another route’s metrics.
Power × efficiency = gravity + rolling resistance + air resistance + bearing losses
The resistance equations are adapted from Martin et al. (1998), Validation of a Mathematical Model for Road Cycling Power. Air density changes with profile altitude using NASA’s standard-atmosphere model. This calculator’s adaptation has not been independently validated.
It predicts travel at the power you enter, including on descents. It does not model acceleration, cornering, braking, traffic, wind, changing weather or fatigue. At altitude, choose power you can sustain there: thinner air reduces drag, but this model does not predict its effect on your ability to produce power. Profile quality and assumed equipment settings also affect the result.
