Just had a quick look at the route. I've ridden the parcours at CP5, from Kruje going towards Burrel. I did it the other direction, 15 years ago, on a Super Galaxy with panniers and touring load. I remember that the panniers were helpful in maintaining traction when standing to climb - as most of it was unsurfaced then. You did get the odd car going along it though, so it was all rideable, but still a hard climb. Hot and sunny on the climb but nice, shady forest at the top. Great views looking west towards / beyond Burrel.
Not sure that nostalgia for that parcours is enough to make me enter, though!
