The Picon Blanco is a well known climb in Spain. This climb in the Burgos region is one of the toughest cols in the Spanish competition circuit.
Like many Spanish extreme cols it ends in a dead end at the top where there are antennas for scientific and/or military purposes.
The road to it is beautiful, of good quality and especially pleasant because it is not too wide and lies in a beautiful landscape.
In several Spanish races it is regularly on the program and causes a lot of trouble for the non climbers, for the mechanics and team leaders a curse because several cars have broken down their engine on it in the past. Before the Angliru was the most notorious climb in Spain.
Of a similar class is also the Cuitu Negru, another must but perhaps even tougher by its length and fickle climbing curve.
For any experienced cyclist who loves strong cols, it is an absolute must.

De Picon Blanco is een begrip in Spanje . Deze klim in de regio van Burgos is één van de zwaarste cols in het Spaanse wedstrijdcircuit.
Zoals veel Spaanse extreme cols loopt het dood op de top en bevinden er zich antennes voor wetenschappelijke en of militaire doeleinden.
De weg er naar toe is prachtig , van goede kwaliteit en vooral aangenaam door dat hij niet te breed is en in een prachtig landschap ligt.
In diverse Spaanse wedstrijden staat hij regelmatig op het programma en zorgt voor heel wat kommer en kwel bij de niet klimmers voor de mecaniciens en ploegleiders een vloek want diverse auto's hebben er in een ver verleden hun motor op kapot gereden. Voor de Angliru was dit de meest beruchte beklimming in Spanje .
Van een zelfde klasse is ook de Cuitu Negru, nog zo een aanrader maar misschien nog zwaarder door zijn lengte en wispelturige klimcurve.
Voor elke geoefende wielerliefhebber die houdt van stevige cols is het een absolute must.

It is no longer a dead end, so you can now drive on. Nice new road along the windmills. That top station is pretty sad though

Hij loopt niet meer dood, je kan nu prima doorrijden. Mooie nieuwe weg langs de windmolens. Dat top station is wel behoorlijk treurig
