It starts off still busy, there on the N road in the village. But then you turn right. The Mon Idée road is a country lane and very quiet. In front of you unfolds a wide expanse of hills, where the wind can play ugly house. Really a nice irregular hill climb. Would love to go there again.... read more

Het begint nog druk, daar op de N-weg in het dorp. Maar dan ga je rechts. Het weggetje Mon Idée is een landweggetje en erg rustig. Voor je ontvouwt zich een wijd uitgestrekt heuvellandschap, waar de wind lelijk huis kan houden. Echt een mooie onregelmatige heuvelklim. Zou er graag nog eens heen gaan.

A 4th-category climb, but one that is quite doable. You start from Ronquieres, where the start is quite busy. But once out of the city centre, the track becomes less crowded, especially if you keep right over Mon Idée which then turns into Point du Jour. You pass a few more houses on the right and soon you are among the trees.

Een klim van 4de categorie, maar een die goed te doen is. Je vertrekt vanuit Ronquieres, waar het vertrek best druk is. Maar eens uit het centrum wordt de baan minder druk en al helemaal als je rechts aanhoudt over Mon Idée die dan weer overgaat in Point du Jour. Je passeert nog enkele huizen op rechts en algauw zit je tussen de bomen.

Start on big track with quite some traffic on it. After about 700m you turn right and the climb becomes a lot more fun: in the fields, little traffic, winding lanes.

Start op grote baan met best veel verkeer op. Na ongeveer 700m sla je rechts af en wordt de klim een pak leuker: in de velden, weinig verkeer , slingerende baantjes.

Nice climb. Don't underestimate the second part. If you know that this is still to come, certainly fun to do!

Leuke klim. Tweede deel niet onderschatten. Als je weet dat dit er nog aan komt, zeker plezant om doen!
