The Niteroi climb. And what a monster it is!!! The fact that the climb reaches 500 climbing points over just 2 kilometres says it all, of course. Especially the section with the 6 hairpins is unmerciful, it does not get below 20％ for 500 metres there. Although each hairpin is less than 100 metres apart, it seems to take forever to reach the next turn. There is always some traffic due to hang gliding and paragliding from the top, so be careful when trying to ease the gradient by taking the outs... read more

The Niteroi climb. And what a monster it is!!! The fact that the climb reaches 500 climbing points over just 2 kilometres says it all, of course. Especially the section with the 6 hairpins is unmerciful, it does not get below 20％ for 500 metres there. Although each hairpin is less than 100 metres apart, it seems to take forever to reach the next turn. There is always some traffic due to hang gliding and paragliding from the top, so be careful when trying to ease the gradient by taking the outside of the hairpin. Once at the top, the view is fantastic, you can see all the highlights of Rio de Janeiro. There is also a bar to have some drinks and food after this vigorous effort.

De klim van Niteroi. En wat een monster het is!! Dat de klim over slechts 2 kilometer 500 klimpunten haalt zegt natuurlijk al genoeg. Vooral het stuk met de 6 haarspeldbochten is onbarmhartig, het komt daar gedurende 500 meter niet onder de 20％. Hoewel elke haarspeld op minder dan 100 meter van elkaar liggen, lijkt het eindeloos te duren voor alleer de volgende bocht bereikt is. Er is vanwege het deltavliegen en paraglyden vanaf de top wel altijd wat verkeer, pas daarom op als je de hellingsgraad wat probeert te verzachten door de buitenkant van de haarspeld te pakken. Eenmaal boven is het uitzicht fantastisch, je kan alle hoogtepunten van Rio de Janeiro zien liggen. Ook is er een bar om wat te drinken en eten na deze forse inspanning.
