Steep all the way, but it is still easy to feel that it steepens quite a bit. When riding at 10-11％ at the bottom it is best not to think about the average gradient at 13％, which means you are riding hard at below average gradients.... read more

You have to try Kiddesvej when you are in Vejle, because of it's role as the deciding climb in Post Nord Danmark Rundt - Tour of Denmark. The climb is really steep, and you have to push hard just to reach the top. Most of the climb is surrounded by buildings, but just as the climb is at it's steepest, there is some trees instead for 50 metres, that provide shadow for you. It's also the part with the best view, if you can look back when you are climbing 19％.
