By Dutch standards, nice gradients, pretty poorly laid, uttering cobbles and at the 'top' briefly a different world. Unique little climb.... read more

By Dutch standards, nice gradients, pretty poorly laid, uttering cobbles and at the 'top' briefly a different world. Unique little climb.

Voor Nederlandse begrippen aardige stijgingspercentages, behoorlijk slecht liggende, utdagende klinkers en aan de 'top' even een andere wereld. Uniek klimmetje.

Unexpectedly tough climb. The gradient is obviously quite decent for the Hillside but the very bumpy cobbles after the cemetery entrance also play a big part. Nice scenery with the Tombe on Donderberg to your left.

Onverwacht pittig klimmetje. De helling is natuurlijk best behoorlijk voor de Heuvelrug maar de zeer hobbelige klinkers na de ingang van de begraafplaats spelen ook een flinke rol. Leuke omgeving met de Tombe op de Donderberg links van je.

Nice climb where the percentage briefly shoots up to 7%. I t is true that the road surface is not at its best but that makes it a climb with a unique character and a bit spicier.

Leuke klim waarbij het percentage toch kort even naar de 7% schiet. I erdaad ligt het wegdek er niet top bij maar dat maakt het een klimmetje met een uniek karakter en een stukje pittiger.

This one was in the Meewind Course. Surprisingly bouncy climb. Still just a little trickier to get your power across.

Deze zat in de Meewind Koers. Verrassend stuiterend klimmetje. Toch net even lastiger om je kracht over te brengen.

A beech climb. Very nice for interval training. The cobbles are so bad that it is worthwhile to tighten your bottle cages.

Een beuk klim. Erg fijn voor de intervaltrainingen. De klinkers liggen er dusdanig slecht bij dat het de moeite waard is om je bidonhouders ff wat strakker te zetten.

After about 150 metres, where you can turn right into the cemetery, you suddenly bang on clinkers that are so bad that your water bottles shake out. It's a lovely road to do on the big slab on the power and see how far you get before the legs fill up. Really nice little climb I think, since I discovered it by accident this year.

Na ongeveer 150 meter, waar je naar rechts de begraafplaats op kunt, knal je ineens op klinkers die zo slecht liggen dat je bidons eruit schudden. Het is een heerlijke weg om op de grote plaat op de macht te doen en kijken hoe ver je komt voordat de benen vollopen. Echt een leuk klein klimmetje vind ik, sinds ik hem dit jaar bij toeval ontdekte.
