Nice climb through the forest. Fine asphalt to ride up. Only after the summit near the farm a hundred metres of gravel. Not for descending: narrow road and moss growing in the middle.... read more

Nice climb through the forest.
Fine asphalt to ride up. Only after the summit near the farm a hundred metres of gravel.
Not for descending: narrow road and moss growing in the middle.

Mooie klim door het bos.
Prima asfalt om omhoog te rijden. Alleen na de top bij de boerderij honderd meter gravel.
Niet om af te dalen: smalle weg en er groeit mos in het midden.

Profiel klopt niet helemaal. Tussen km 1-2.5 constant 10-11%, maar steilste stukje is niet meer dan 12%
