The slope starts with a stretch of false flat. Only at the right-hand bend, it gets a little trickier. But after the bend, you can immediately shift up a gear. You'll be at the top before you know it. The slope goes over concrete slabs whose separations are slightly higher. As a result, you are always a bit "slowed down". Some potholes here and there in the road surface. Beautiful surroundings for cycling.... read more

Beautiful surroundings for cycling.

De helling begint met een stuk vals plat. Pas in de bocht naar rechts, wordt het iets lastiger. Maar na de bocht kan je meteen een tandje bijschakelen. Je bent dan boven voordat je het weet.
De helling gaat over betonplaten waarvan de scheidingen iets hoger liggen. Hierdoor word je altijd wat "afgeremd". Hier en daar wat putten in het wegdek.
Mooie omgeving om te fietsen.
