On leaving St-André, you drive straight through an active quarry. The old road went around the quarry, but it is now closed, so you have to drive right through it. It looks a bit strange, but that is the last thing on your mind when you have to catch up with the altitude metres you have lost by riding across the bottom of the quarry. This includes some unexpected, steep sections. Once in Tourette-Levens, you can already congratulate yourself, because from there it's a piece of cake. In fact, I would say you can already turn around here if you have nothing to do in Levens.
Bij het buitenrijden van St-André rij je meteen dwars doorheen een actieve steengroeve. De oude weg lag om de groeve heen, maar die is nu afgesloten, en je moet er dus echt dwars doorheen. Het doet wat vreemd aan, maar dat is het laatste waar je aan denkt wanneer je de hoogtemeters weer moet inhalen die je hebt laten liggen door over de bodem van de groeve te rijden. Hier zitten enkele onverwachte, steile stroken bij. Eenmaal in Tourette-Levens mag je jezelf al feliciteren, want vanaf daar is het een eitje. Ik zou zelfs zeggen dat je je hier al mag omkeren als je niets te zoeken hebt in Levens.
