As Steven points out, you start almost from standstill, which makes 'm tougher. It is short enough to just go full throttle. Recommended if you're in the area!... read more

Straf ding! Leuk om ineens zo'n steile puist tegen te komen, had 'm niet verwacht. Zoals Steven aangeeft begin je vrijwel uit stilstand, dat maakt 'm zwaarder. Hij is kort genoeg om gewoon lekker voluit te gaan. Aanrader als je in de buurt bent!
The Prinsenbos is one of the steeper climbs in the region. The start of this slope is along a very busy traffic road. This means that you often have to start this climb from quasi standstill, unless you are lucky with the crossing traffic. Consequently, it makes the Prinsenbos all the more explosive, a real punch!
The state of the road surface doesn't really help. The concrete slabs need replacing: they show cracks, and in some places there are even real craters in the road surface (especially on the right side). Fortunately for many, this climb is too steep both up and down, which makes it consequently quiet.
The official Strava segment is 270m long at an average of 9.8％. This is because part of the spur on the plateau is included in the climb. Here the wind can seriously blow at a disadvantage....
De Prinsenbos is één van de steilere beklimmingen van de regio. Het begin van deze helling ligt langs een zeer drukke verkeersweg. Dat maakt dat je deze klim vaak vanuit quasi stilstand moet aanvatten, tenzij je geluk hebt met het kruisende verkeer. Bijgevolg maakt het de Prinsenbos des te explosiever, een heuse punch!
De staat van het wegdek helpt niet echt. De betonplaten zijn aan vervanging toe: ze vertonen scheuren, en op sommige plekken zijn er zelfs heuse kraters in het wegdek (vooral aan de rechterzijde). Gelukkig is deze klim voor velen té steil zowel in stijgende als dalende lijn, wat maakt dat het er bijgevolg rustig is.
Het officiële Strava-segment is 270m lang aan een gemiddelde van 9.8％. Dat komt omdat een deel van de uitloper op het plateau is meegenomen in de beklimming. Hier kan de wind serieus in het nadeel blazen....
