With this climb, an editorial choice has clearly been made. If you calculate from a low point, it should actually start 6km earlier, in Raddon-et-Chapendu. From that place at the start of the valley, you grab over 100 altimeters before this Climbfinder version starts, pretty steady some 1.8-2%. Then follows this climb, which as far as I am concerned is only really a climb at two points, and otherwise an uphill road.

With this climb, an editorial choice has clearly been made. If you calculate from a low point, it should actually start 6km earlier, in Raddon-et-Chapendu. From that place at the start of the valley, you grab over 100 altimeters before this Climbfinder version starts, pretty steady some 1.8-2%. Then follows this climb, which as far as I am concerned is only really a climb at two points, and otherwise an uphill road. Just after Rovillers is a kilometre of serious climbing (6% average, but also a stretch of double digits) and when you turn left a little later, you find yourself in the Ardennes. This is the stretch of road that leads to the hamlet of Les Blondots, and the road itself is called that (so not BlondoNs). Actually, this is 'the climb' what this is all about, as the road through the valley loops aside and is another 'own' climb that is, on balance, much longer. Do you still get it?

Anyway: short and sweet, this road Les Blondots you absolutely must have done once if you like Ardennes work. The road only drops below 10% in a few places and cows on the left and right look at you like you're crazy. Do it!

Bij deze klim is duidelijk een redactie-keuze gemaakt. Als je rekent vanaf een laagste punt, zou het eigenlijk al 6km eerder moeten beginnen, in Raddon-et-Chapendu. Vanaf die plaats aan het begin van het dal pak je dik 100 hoogtemeters voordat deze Climbfinder-versie begint, vrij steady zo'n 1,8-2%. Dan volgt deze klim, die wat mij betreft maar op twee punten echt een klim is, en verder een omhooglopende weg. Vlak na Rovillers zit een kilometer serieus klimmen (6% gemiddeld, maar ook een stuk dubbele cijfers) en als je even later linksaf slaat, waan je je in de Ardennen. Dat is het stukje weg dat naar het gehucht Les Blondots leidt, en de weg heet zelf ook zo (dus niet BlondoNs). Eigenlijk is dit 'de klim' waar dit allemaal om gaat, want de weg door het dal loopt in een lus opzij en is weer een 'eigen' klim die per saldo veel langer is. Snapt u het nog?

Enfin: kort en goed, deze weg Les Blondots moet je absoluut een keer gedaan hebben als je van Ardennenwerk houdt. De weg komt maar op een paar plekken onder de 10% uit en links en rechts staan koeien je aan te kijken alsof je gek bent. Doen!
