It's a long, gentle climb that's actually quite monotonous, starting in the town of Braine-le-Comte itself and finishing in the forest. Only the very end is steep, which can be avoided by turning off towards the "Point du Jour", further into the heart of the Houssière wood.
The road is wide and quite busy at times, with vehicles travelling at high speeds, so take care. At other times, it can be completely deserted.
C'est une longue ascension peu pentue et à vrai dire monotone, partant d'un cadre citadin à Braine-le-Comte même pour finir en forêt. Seule la toute fin est pentue, une fin qu'on peut d'ailleurs éviter en obliquant vers le « Point du Jour », plus au cœur du bois de la Houssière.
La route est large et assez fréquentée par moments, avec des véhicules pouvant rouler très vite, donc prudence. À d'autres périodes, elle peut être complètement déserte.
