The first kilometre has absolutely nothing to do with fun cycling as far as I am concerned. A busy road with many equivalent crossings where you have to give way and stop all the time. This way, you don't really get into a rhythm at all. Still 2 stars instead of 1 because the last steeper part is quieter. But in my opinion, if that's what you want to do, it's much better to do the variant via the Bosweg, as the last part is the same.... read more

De eerste kilometer heeft helemaal niks met leuk fietsen te maken wat mij betreft. Een drukke weg met veel gelijkwaardige kruisingen waarbij je steeds voorrang moet verlenen en stoppen. Op deze manier kom je helemaal niet echt in een ritme.

Toch 2 sterren i.p.v. 1 omdat het laatste steilere stukje wel rustiger is. Maar als het je daarom te doen is kun je naar mijn mening veel beter de variant via de Bosweg rijden, laatste stuk is immers hetzelfde.

You can make a big mistake here. If you come from Hommelseweg, the start is still pretty quiet but the devil is in the tail, as the saying goes. So too here. So if you don't start at full throttle you should definitely be able to do this one. During the Arnhems Mooiste I saw some people break down here because they didn't know what was coming.

Hier kun je je aardig in vergissen. Als je vanuit de Hommelseweg komt dan gaat het begin nog aardig rustig echter het venijn zit in de staart luid het spreekwoord. Zo ook hier. Dus als je niet helemaal vol gas begint dan moet je deze zeker wel kunnen. Heb hier tijdens de Arnhems Mooiste toch wat mensen zien stuk gaan omdat ze niet wisten wat er nog komen ging.

This climb starts in the busy built-up area and then runs along a wide road at first, further on you keep to the right and past some houses you enter a much quieter and greener area. The percentages suddenly rise considerably as well, with much firmer percentages than normal in Arnhem. Enjoy this climb and the variation offers something extra.

Deze klim begint in de drukke bebouwde kom en loopt daarna eerst langs een brede weg, meer verderop houd je rechts aan en langs enkele huizen rijdt je een heel wat stiller en groener gebied in. Ook de percentages stijgen ineens behoorlijk waarbij je heel wat steviger percentages dan normaal in Arnhem voor je kiezen krijgt. Genieten deze klim en de variatie biedt wat extra.

The first part in the city can be busy! Shopping street, many cars half on the street/sidewalk. When you get a bit higher on the Hommelseweg, it becomes a bit more quiet and there is more room for cycling. Nice to cycle on to the Monnikensteeg/ Schelmseweg, and choose your route: turn right to Velp, a slight climb, but after that crossing to the Zijpenberg possible, or rather turn left on the Schelmse weg, a nice climb, then a nice drop, and another nice climb? Then right to Ede, round Veluwe via Hoenderlo and finally Arnhem again. Not only climbing, also very nice cycling!

Het eerste stuk in de stad kan wel druk zijn! Winkelstraat, veel auto's half op de straat/ stoep. Als je wat hoger op de Hommelseweg komt, wordt het iets rustiger en is er meer ruimte om te fietsen. Leuk om daarna door te rijden naar de Monnikensteeg/ Schelmseweg, en kiest u uw route maar: rechtsaf naar Velp, een flauwe klim, maar daarna doorsteek naar de Zijpenberg mogelijk, of liever linksaf de Schelmse weg op, een leuke klim, dan een mooie daling, en weer een mooie klim? Vervolgens rechtsaf naar Ede, rondje Veluwe via Hoenderlo en uiteindelijk Arnhem weer in. NIet alleen klimmen, ook heel mooi fietsen!
