Well, the road is mediocre and the cycle path, as is often the case in this region, is really not recommended. You have to cross the lane, unfortunately, as there are not very many alternatives. In short, it's a bit of a cry. And in terms of climbing? Well, the road goes up but this is the least of your worries as you are much more distracted by the wretched road surface.... read more

Tja, de weg is matig en het fietspad is zoals vaker in deze regio echt niet aan te bevelen. Je moet helaas over de baan heen, want heel veel alternatieven zijn er helaas niet. Het is kortom een beetje huilen. En qua klimmen? Tja, de weg loopt omhoog maar dit is de minste zorg aangezien je veel meer afgeleid wordt door het erbarmelijke wegdek.

Not really special - we rode in large group and were allowed to ride on the track: but this doesn't really bolt well either. Not really worth it - but think there are few alternatives if you have to go this way and want to do some altimeters.

Niet echt speciaal - we reden in grote groep en mochten op de baan rijden: maar dit bolt ook niet echt goed. Niet echt de moeite - maar denk dat er weinig alternatieven zijn als je deze kant uitmoet en je wilt wat hoogtemeters doen.

There was nothing pleasant about this. You cycle on a concrete bike path next to a relatively busy road. There must be nicer roads I hope.

Hier vond ik niks aangenaam aan. Je fietst op een betonnen fietspad naast een relatief drukke weg. Er moeten mooiere wegen zijn hoop ik.

Not steep, but if you have a headwind here, you can feel it. The steepest part starts when the water tower comes in sight and the cycle path is in good condition over its entire length. In the descent after the water tower, the cycle path becomes much worse.

Niet steil maar als je hier tegenwind hebt kan je het wel voelen. Het steilste stukje begint wanneer de watertoren in zicht komt en het fietspad is over de hele lengte wel in goede staat. In de afdaling na de watertoren wordt het fietspad wel veel slechter.
