Inconspicuous little road that you almost miss, but immediately surprised with an extremely steep cobbled section from a standstill that is short but merciless.
Onopvallend weggetje dat je bijna mist, maar meteen verrast met een extreem steil kasseienstuk vanuit stilstand dat kort maar genadeloos is.
As MrTembo also described: suddenly the GPS tells you to go right, while 100m before you see no road at all. Then you look to your right and indeed you see a small road, cobblestones and a wall. Especially hard in the beginning because you have to overcome the 18％. Bit dangerous because you have to change gear very fast, otherwise you might fall (if you stand too tall).
Best to do, but it comes unexpectedly.
zoals MrTembo ook beschreef: plots zegt de GPS dat je naar rechts moet, terwijl je 100m daarvoor totaal geen weg ziet aankomen. Dan kijk je rechts en zie je inderdaad een mini-wegje, kasseien en een muur. Vooral zwaar in het begin omdat je uit stilstand die 18％ moet overwinnen. Beetje gevaarlijk omdat je zeer snel moet schakelen, anders kan je wel eens vallen (als je te groot staat).
Best te doen, maar hij komt onverwacht.
From a standstill, you have to conquer the cobblestones. You have to break yourself at 50m and then rake up to the top. It's worth climbing, but it's in the middle of nowhere.
Vanuit stilstand meteen aan 18％ kasseien bedwingen. Dat is je op 50m kapot rijden en, dan harken tot boven. De moeite om eens te beklimmen, maar ligt een beetje in een uithoek.
