Nice climb to include if you're in the area. Quite tough. Double gradients. Passed only 1 car when climbing. Road surface is doable. Sometimes a bit rougher. But you don't need a gravel bike at all.... read more

Nice climb to include if you're in the area. Quite tough. Double gradients.
Passed only 1 car when climbing.
Road surface is doable. Sometimes a bit rougher. But you don't need a gravel bike at all.

Mooie klim om erbij te nemen als je in de buurt bent. Best pittig. Dubbele stijgingspercentages.
Kwam slechts 1 auto voorbij bij het klimmen.
Het wegdek is goed te doen. Soms een beetje ruwer. Maar je hebt hoegaamd geen gravelbike nodig.
