Coming from the busier road (not ideal) you turn right and it immediately starts spicy. Downshifting before the turn is the message. Then it alternates between + and - 10％ between the houses to level out in the forest.
Komende van de drukkere weg (niet ideaal) draai je rechts op en begint het onmiddellijk pittig. Terugschakelen voor de bocht is de boodschap. Dan wisselt het even af tussen + en - 10％ tussen de huizen om in het bos uit te vlakken. boven kom je op een plateau maar uitzicht is beperkt.
Spicy style thing. Good surface. Pretty good environment, but you see mainly your frame. After the climb you can cross the highway to get to the Hallerbos.
Pittig stijl ding. Goede ondergrond. Best oké omgeving , maar je ziet toch vooral je kader. Na de klim kan je de autostrade oversteken om zo in het Hallerbos te komen.
Along with the Sablière and Rue Sainte-Croix, this is one of the three "star" climbs in Braine-le-Château that lead up to the Bois de Hal. Two very steep sections interspersed with a (very) relative respite, and then the road joins the Sablière road. It can be taken in the downhill direction if you want to link the rue des Radoux and the rue de la Sablière... if you have good brakes.
Beware, the cycle path along the access road is in a terrible state, almost all the way between Braine-le-Château and Braine-l'Alleud...
Avec la Sablière et la rue Sainte-Croix, une des trois côtes « vedettes » de Braine-le-Château qui grimpent en direction du bois de Hal. Deux passages très pentus entrecoupés d'un répit (très) relatif, et puis la route rejoint celle de la Sablière. Peut être empruntée dans le sens de la descente si on veut enchaîner la rue des Radoux et la rue de la Sablière… si on dispose de bons freins.
Attention, la piste cyclable le long de la route d'accès est dans un état lamentable, quasiment tout du long entre Braine-le-Château et Braine-l'Alleud…
