Short and not too difficult climb from the western outskirts to Les Plenesses industrial estate. It is very busy with freight traffic on weekdays.

Korte en niet te moeilijke klim vanuit het westelijk buitengebied naar industrieterrein Les Plenesses. Op werkdagen is het erg druk met vrachtverkeer.

Through road which is hugely busy outside weekends I suspect. Good road surface but not much else about it.

Doorgaande weg die buiten het weekend enorm druk is vermoed ik. Goed wegdek maar niet veel anders aan.

A straight road up from a stream valley towards the industrial estate. Good tarmac and a nice little incline but there's no need to detour here.

Een vrijwel rechte weg omhoog vanuit een beekdal richting het bedrijventerrein. Goed asfalt en een lekker hellinkje maar verder hoef je hier niet voor om te rijden.
