Haha, het viel opzich mee! jij hebt je gewicht nog mee. ik had een gemiddelde van 325 Watt, zelfde hartslag en 11.5 gemiddeld. Maar mooie klim! Je krijgt zeker moraal van alle aanmoedigingen op de weg.

The Côte de Pike is a jerk! It opens boldly and immediately warns you of what is to come.
It is a climb in two parts: a step, a plateau and then a monster of a wall. For a good kilometre, it's pushing, stumbling, grinding, panting, wringing, cursing, raking, pumping, and just short of drowning.

You are exhausted when you reach the top. And then you realise that the pros have just ridden at full speed, only to continue on their way without slowing down.

One word: WAANZIN!

De Côte de Pike is een etterbak! Hij opent brutaal en waarschuwt je meteen voor wat komen gaat.
Het is een klim in twee delen: een opstapje, een plateau en vervolgens een monster van een muur. Gedurende een dikke kilometer is het duwen, stoempen, knarsen, hijgen, wringen, vloeken, harken, pompen, en net niet verzuipen.

Tijdens mijn beklimming reed ik gemiddeld 11.4 km/u, aan 264 Watt gemiddeld. Hartslag 166 bpm (gemiddeld) met een piek van 180...

Je bent stikkapot als je boven komt. En dan besef je dat die profs hier zopas vollebak hebben gereden, om nadien zonder versagen hun weg te vervolgen.

Eén woord: WAANZIN!
