Great climb in 3 sections. Road surface was being worked on with minor repairs but was already pretty good. Going down, I came across a sweeper truck myself.

Geweldige klim in 3 delen. Wegdek werd aan gewerkt met kleine reparaties maar was al redelijk goed. Naar beneden kwam ik zelf een veegwagen tegen.
