This side of the Ruidenberg is used in cycling competitions and youth races as a descent to the Vinkensveldstraat. The approach is first when you drive through a small forest on a narrow road and then the road makes a turn to the right. At first it's still a false flat, but then it gets a bit steeper. You see a forested area in front of you. When I did it for the 1st time, the concrete became a little rough and it looked like you were riding on cobblestones. First I thought that my tire was flat but then I found out that this is purely because of the road surface. When you approach the crossroads where the road meets the Steenstraat, you first take a mini-descent that actually is your launch to then do the last tough part uphill to the top of the Ruidenberg where it gets up to 6 percent. Almost no traffic but I wouldn't consider this as a climb but more as a descent.

Deze kant van de Ruidenberg wordt in wielerwedstrijden en jeugdkoersen meer gebruikt als afdaling om dan zo naar de Vinkensveldstraat te gaan. De aanloop is eerst wanneer je door een klein bos rijdt op een smalle weg en dan de weg een bocht naar rechts maakt. Het gaat eerst nog vals plat, maar dan wordt het iets steiler. Je ziet dan ook een bebost gebied voor je liggen. Toen ik hem voor de 1ste keer deed werd de beton op een moment iets ruw waardoor het leek alsof je op kasseien reed. Ik dacht eerst dat m'n band plat was maar kwam er dan pas achter dat dat puur door het wegdek komt. Wanneer je het kruispunt nadert waar de weg samenkomt met de Steenstraat neem je eerst nog een mini-afdaling dat eigenlijk je lancering is om dan het laatste pittig stuk bergop te doen naar de top van de Ruidenberg waar het nog max. 6 procent wordt. Bijna geen verkeer maar zou dit toch niet als beklimming doen maar meer als afdaling.
