Still an ugly calf biter. Start directly over the little bridge ferm. Fairly straight climb, few points where you can ride mentally. When you get into the forest, after about 1 kilometre, the hardest part is behind you. The rest is outside leaf.... read more

Toch wel een lelijke kuitenbijter. Start direct over het bruggetje ferm. Redelijk rechte klim, weinig punten waar je mentaal naartoe kan rijden. Als je in het bos komt, na pakweg 1 kilometer, is het lastigste wel achter de rug. De rest is buitenblad.
