Short and dead-end, but surprisingly steep among the other Hill Ridge climbs, with the first part especially noticeable because of the right-angled turn and percentage. Still fun to take in, then.
Kort en doodlopend, maar tussen de andere Heuvelrug-klimmen wel verbazingwekkend steil, waarbij vooral het eerste deel voelbaar is vanwege de haakse bocht en het percentage. Toch leuk om mee te pakken dus.
Strange little climb of course, so dead-end. You start with little speed and the steepest part is right at the bottom. Three gasps and you reach the top. At the top, turn around and descend slowly in order not to end up on the main cycle path with too much speed. Possibly the steepest piece of tarmac in the province of Utrecht! Good to combine with the other hills in Rhenen but not exciting enough on its own, therefore 3 stars.
Raar klimmetje natuurlijk, zo doodlopend. Je start met weinig snelheid en het steilste stuk zit gelijk onderin. Drie keer hijgen en je bent boven. Bovenaan omkeren en rustig afdalen om niet met te veel snelheid op het doorgaande fietspad te komen. Mogelijk het steilste stukje asfalt van de provincie Utrecht! Goed te combineren met de andere heuvels in Rhenen maar op zichzelf staand niet spannend genoeg, daarom de 3 sterren.
