Climb with the highest average gradient in Belgium, you must have done it once. Actually it wasn't too bad, so maybe RobPolus is right about the percentage. Last week, I rode the Rue de la Sèche and it felt much steeper. But now about the climb: make sure you have your gears set because it starts right away, the climb is short enough that you can go all-out without blowing yourself up. The road surface is good and there is hardly any traffic. There are some streets in the neighbourhood that go towards the same point, these are also steep and might be worth a climb.
Klim met het hoogste gemiddelde stijgingspercentage van België moet je ooit gedaan hebben toch. Eigenlijk viel ie me alles mee, dus misschien heeft RobPolus wel gelijk over het stijgingspercentage. Vorige week de Rue de la Sèche opgereden en die voelde toch veel steiler aan. Maar nu wat over de klim: zorg dat je vooraf goed geschakeld staat want hij begint meteen, de klim is kort genoeg dat je all-out kunt gaan zonder jezelf op te blazen. Het wegdek is goed en er is vrijwel geen verkeer. Er liggen nog wat straten in de buurt die richting hetzelfde punt gaan, deze zijn ook steil en misschien wel een beklimming waard.
Ridden it today for the first time. Steep thing, for sure. But these figures seem to me (and my garmin) somewhat exaggerated. I have ridden steeper ones to my feeling. It is not that bad. And pretty short too. Anyway, if you are in the area there is certainly nothing wrong with it.
Vandaag voor het eerst opgereden. Steil ding, dat zeker. Maar deze cijfers lijken mij (en m'n garmin) wat overdreven. Ik heb er al steilere opgereden naar m'n gevoel. Hij is niet zo erg. En ook behoorlijk kort. Maar goed, als je in de buurt bent is er zeker niets mis mee.
