Nice climb that is easy to do, there are no exceptionally steep parts. After each steep part there is a piece that runs good and you can catch your breath again. Road is in good condition and very quiet.... read more

Nice climb that is easy to do, there are no exceptionally steep parts. After each steep part there is a piece that runs good and you can catch your breath again. Road is in good condition and very quiet.

Mooie klim die goed te doen is, er zitten geen uitzonderlijk steile stukken in. Na ieder steil stuk komt er weer een stuk die lekker loopt en je weer op adem kan komen. Weg is is goede staat en erg rustig.

We did this climb as a warm-up for a long day in the saddle, but it is a bit more than a warm-up. The climb is not that long, but it does have some tough parts, interspersed with some less tough parts. In that respect, it is actually ideal to warm up, but you have to be careful not to blow yourself up. You drive through real farmland with some farms, a village and certainly also with cattle on the road. The farmers, who go out with their cattle, were not inclined to make way for the occasional cyclist on this road.

Wij deden deze klim als opwarmer voor een lange dag in het zadel, maar het is wel iets meer dan een opwarmertje. De klim is niet zo lang, maar heeft wel een aantal zwaardere gedeelten, afgewisseld met minder zware gedeelten. In dat opzicht dus eigenlijk wel ideaal om op te warmen, maar het is uitkijken om jezelf niet op te blazen. Je rijdt door echt boerenland met aantal boerderijen, een dorpje en zeker ook met vee op de weg. De boeren, die met hun vee op pad gaan, waren in ons geval niet geneigd om opzij te gaan voor de enkele fietser op deze weg.
