Immediately be careful as you turn up this climb. There are lots of pebbles in that bend. Int beginning it is very steep (10 to 16 per cent) in full sun. Then it starts to level off more and more. Up to and including these stretches it is also busy due to a campsite located on the climb. Once you pass this campsite, it is first some flat stretches of tarmac and then suddenly gravel. Very bad gravel with also needles from the trees lying on the track. Luckily I had tubeless tyres, otherwise it would have been a case of putting another tyre on. After the gravel back asphalt , full of potholes. Not up for a second time.
Direct oppassen geblazen als je deze klim opdraait. In die bocht liggen er veel steentjes. Int begin is het zeer steil (10 tot 16 procent) in de volle zon. Daarna begin het steeds meer af te vlakken. Tot en met deze stukken is het ook druk door een camping die op de beklimming ligt. Als je deze camping gepasseerd bent, is het eerst wat vlakke stukken asfalt en dan plots gravel. Zeer slechte gravel met ook naalden van de bomen die op de baan liggen. Gelukkig had ik tubeless banden , anders was het een ander bandje op leggen. Na de gravel terug asfalt , vol met putten. Niet voor een tweede keer vatbaar.
