Mja, een ster. Je kan er ook niet echt omheen ofzo, want het is een grote weg die je uit Leuven leidt. Kan hier pittig druk zijn.

You cannot really avoid this climb as it is part of a rolling main road. The surface isn't great and there can be some traffic, but the cycling path is quite good. It also goes trough a forest making it quite green and pleasant. All in all the climb is not bad but also nothing special.
