Done it as a descent today, and it was super! Provided you avoid that steep part with the bad tarmac as Jeroen describes. This can easily be done by taking the track with the two hairpin bends that runs parallel to it. Also as an ascent I would do it this way. Much nicer!... read more

The Côte de Xhoris is an ideal climb to die for. The beginning is not too steep. You see the road in front of you and it shows the gradient well. But once you have left the village, there is a steeper part. When I see such a climb, I choose a gear and don't come back from it. The choice is important: if you choose too big, you can still downshift on the steep part but you might be out of breath from what you delivered before. If you choose too small, you may still be able to do well, but you won't be able to downshift. Choose wisely! By the way, there is a nice descent in the direction of Hamoir: few curves, a big road but with limited traffic and just steep enough not to have to push.

De Côte de Xhoris is een ideale klim om op dood te gaan. Het begin is niet al te steil. Je ziet de weg voor je en die geeft de hellingsgraad goed aan. Maar eenmaal je het dorp uit bent gereden, is er een steiler stukje. Als ik zo'n klim zie, dan kies ik een versnelling en kom daar niet meer van. De keuze is belangrijk: kies je te groot, dan kan je op het steile stuk nog wel terugschakelen maar ben je misschien al buiten adem van wat je daarvoor hebt geleverd. Kies je te klein, dan zit je misschien nog wel goed maar kan je niet meer kleiner schakelen. Kies wijs! Richting Hamoir is er trouwens een leuke afdaling: weinig bochten, een grote weg maar met beperkt verkeer en net steil genoeg om niet te hoeven duwen.

Vandaag als afdaling gedaan, en dat was super!
Op voorwaarde dat je dat steile stuk met de slechte asfalt zoals Jeroen beschrijft mijdt. Dit kan eenvoudig door het baantje met de twee haarspeldbochten te nemen dat daar parallel mee loopt.
Ook als beklimming zou ik het zo doen. Veel mooier!

The Côte de Xhoris has nothing to offer, but certainly nothing against. It is not a terrible climb, but also not very beautiful. The climb starts in the village where the road surface is poor. Outside the village it becomes a nice middle section on new asphalt. This is the best part of the climb. The end of the climb has lousy tarmac where you are treated to sections above 10%.
The climb is mainly on a wide road where sometimes people drive fast. It is not very busy there. All in all, a nice little climb if you want to continue in the direction of the southern climbs near Aywaille.

De Côte de Xhoris heeft niets voor maar ook zeker niets tegen. Het is geen vreselijke beklimming, maar ook niet supermooi. De klim begint in het dorpje waar het wegdek matig is. Buiten het dorpje wordt het een mooi middenstuk op nieuw orgasfalt. Dit is het mooiste deel van de klim. Het einde van de klim heeft belabberd asfalt waarbij je getrakteerd wordt op stukken boven de 10%.
De klim is grotendeels over een brede weg waar nog wel eens hard gereden wordt. Heel erg druk is het er niet. Al met al een lollig klimmetje als je wil doorsteken richting de zuidelijke klimmetjes bij Aywaille.
