It was only when I suddenly saw the mill pub looming that I realised I was on the Hotond. For me, one of the most characteristic images from Dwars door Vlaanderen and the Ronde. Had to get off the bike for a moment to take a photo.

Pas toen ik ineens het molencafé zag opdoemen realiseerde ik me dat ik al op de Hotond was. Voor mij een van de meest kenmerkende televisiebeelden uit Dwars door Vlaanderen en de Ronde. Moest even van de fiets om een foto te maken.

First up the cobblestones of the Oude Kruisberg, which are still a better alternative than the main road from Ronse. Then you may well have to wait at the traffic lights before finishing the rest of the climb on the left. Most difficult at the start and not really beautiful or special otherwise. The Hotond may be the highest point in East Flanders, but otherwise I think it's just a weak climb.

Eerst de rotkasseien van de Oude Kruisberg op die toch nog altijd een beter alternatief zijn dan de grote baan vanuit Ronse. Dan kan het goed zijn dat je aan het verkeerslicht moet wachten voor je links de rest van de beklimming af kan werken. Het moeilijkste in het begin en voor de rest niet echt mooi of speciaal. De Hotond is dan wel het hoogste punt van Oost-Vlaanderen, voor de rest vind ik het maar een inspiratieloze klim.
