During a training ride in the Ardennes we were almost back at the starting point. Only a small threshold on the route map. At least that's what it looked like on paper...

In real life? From the moment you turn into the small road it goes up with terrible percentages. Because the first few hundred meters are always in a "bend" you never see the end and it remains mollemalen upwards.

Along the way I got the nickname Courage from a bunch of playing kids.

Once at the house it flattens out a bit, but the surface makes place for gravel (passable on 25mm contis).

A little more pedalling and then crying out at the top.

Beautiful side street!

Tijdens een trainingsrondje in de Ardennen waren we bijna terug bij de startplaats. Alleen nog een kleine drempel op de routekaart. Zo zag het er op papier iig uit. ..

In het echt? Vanaf het moment dat je het kleine straatje indraait gaat het met verschrikkelijke percentages omhoog. Omdat de eerste paar honderd meter eigenlijk steeds in een "bocht" lopen zie je eigenlijk nooit het einde en blijft het mollemalen naar boven.

Onderweg nog de bijnaam Courage gekregen van een stel spelende kinderen.

Eenmaal bij het huis wordt het wat vlakker, maar maakt de ondergrond plaats voor gravel (goed begaanbaar op 25mm contis).

Even doortrappen nog en vervolgens uithuilen aan de top.

Prachtig zijstraatje!
