I usually neglect this climb on my tours because I know it can hurt. I decided to do it again anyway. First section is a long stretch under the trees straight ahead. Percentages are not too bad here and if you find your rhythm, you can go up here smoothly. Good asphalt strip. You also pass the "glamping" here. Then a curve to the left. You see the gradients double and suddenly you have to switch to a different cadence. A long straight stretch so you can see the top. I tried to hold o... read more

I usually neglect this climb on my tours because I know it can hurt. I decided to do it again anyway.
First section is a long stretch under the trees straight ahead. Percentages are not too bad here and if you find your rhythm, you can go up here smoothly. Good asphalt strip. You also pass the "glamping" here.
Then a curve to the left. You see the gradients double and suddenly you have to switch to a different cadence. A long straight stretch so you can see the top. I tried to hold on on the pedals as long as I could. But the last 100 metres hurt and I had to sit down.
The last few dozen metres there is also an extra tarmac strip on the right-hand side where you can "surplacen" and die without bothering other road users.
All in all, a nice slope on a quiet course.

Ik laat deze klim tijdens mijn tochten meestal links liggen omdat ik weet dat hij pijn kan doen. Ik besloot hem toch nog eens te doen.
Eerste stuk is een lange strook onder de bomen rechtdoor. Percentages vallen hier heel goed mee en als je je ritme vindt, kan je hier vlot op gaan. Goede asfaltstrook. Je passeert hier ook de "glamping".
Dan een bocht naar links. Je ziet de stijgingspercentages verdubbelen en moet je opeens omschakelen naar een andere kadans. Een lange rechte strook dus je ziet de top wel liggen. Ik probeerde zo lang mogelijk vol te houden op de trappers. Maar de laatste 100 meters deden pijn en moest ik gaan zitten.
De laatste tientallen meters is er ook aan de rechterzijde een extra asfaltstrook waarop je kan "surplacen" en sterven zonder andere weggebruikers te hinderen.
Al bij al een leuke helling op een rustige baan.

Quiet little climb. In the beginning, the gradients remain mild; towards the end, it is to be hoped that you have not overestimated yourself on the gentle start of the slope.

Rustig gelegen klimmetje. In het begin blijven de stijgingspercentages mild, tegen het einde aan is het te hopen dat je jezelf niet overschat hebt op het lichtlopend begin van de helling.

A very nice little climb, somewhat hidden between Aarschot and Rillaar. Over hundreds of meters, this climb is not much, the percentages fluctuate between 3 and 4 %. But after a sharp left turn, you suddenly encounter the steeper altitude meters: a pleasant surprise! Ideal to fool your cycling companions who are unfamiliar with this climb, because they dare to blow themselves up on the "insignificant bit of false flat" which you sent them over.

Last one to the top has a treat!

Een zeer fijn klimmetje, ietwat verborgen tussen Aarschot en Rillaar. Over honderden meters stelt deze klim niet veel voor, de percentages schommelen tussen de 3 à 4 %. Maar na een scherpe linkse bocht komt je opeens de steilere hoogtemeters tegen: een aangename verrassing! Ideaal om je fietskompanen die onbekend met deze klim zijn in de luren te leggen, want die durven zich al eens opblazen op het "onbeduidende stukje valsplat" waar jij hen overheen hebt gestuurd.

Wie het laatste boven is, die trakteert!

A nice climb via a quiet road and beautiful surroundings . The first part is easy going and pleasant to cycle. The devil is in the last part where you have just before the very steep part a short descent, watch out for traffic and cyclists coming from the right because you do not see them coming. Then it goes up steeply for a good 100 meters and it continues to rise even more than it looks and this until the main track. Definitely a must to do occasionally on your route.

Een leuke beklimming via een rustige weg en mooie omgeving . Het eerste deel is rustig vals plat bergop lopend en aangenaam om te fietsen . Het venijn zit hem in het laatste deel waar je juist voor het zeer steile deel een korte afdaling hebt , let hier goed op voor verkeer en fietsers die van rechts komen want je ziet ze toataal niet afkomen . Dan gaat het steil omhoog gedurende een dikke 100 meter en het blijft daarna nog meer oplopen dan het er uitziet en dit tot aan de grote baan. Zeker een aanrader om af en toe op je route te doen.
