Nice climb on a narrow and quiet road. Unnoticed you make quite a lot of altimeters. I did this one after the Haussire so had heavy legs. At the end a steep section through the village.

Leuke klim over een smal en rustige weg. Ongemerkt maak je best veel hoogtemeters. Ik deed deze na de Haussire dus had zware benen. Op het einde een steil stuk door het dorpje.
