The wide road makes for a somewhat boring climb but a fine descent with long clear turns. Little shelter from the sun. In Coustouges you will find a little fountain with drinking water (behind the playground).... read more

In Coustouges you will find a little fountain with drinking water (behind the playground).

De brede weg zorgt voor een wat saaie klim maar een prima afdaling met lange overzichtelijke bochten. Weinig beschutting tegen de zon. Veel motorrijders.
In Coustouges vind je een water fonteintje met drinkwater (achter de speeltuin).

A wide road that winds up with sometimes a small downhill. You wonder why there's such a wide road with so little traffic. The width of the road (good tarmac) makes the climb unfortunately a bit boring. Do not count on supply possibilities.

Een brede weg die zich naar boven slingert met af en toe een kleine afdaling. Je vraagt je af waarom hier zo'n brede weg ligt met zo weinig verkeer. De breedte van de weg (goed asfalt) maakt de klim helaas wat saaier. lange stukken die niet al te stijl zijn. Reken niet op bevoorradingsmogelijkheden.
