So now I see for the first time that the Ruiterberg South 'lighter' would be than the mountain from the north. It doesn't feel that way, because from this side you have to make a sharp turn from the bike path and start the climb almost from standstill (at least in crowded conditions). Not steep, but long enough to get your heart rate up if you pedal hard. Recovering is very well possible in the descent, from both sides it is a nice downhill.... read more

The first part is a bit steeper, with a longer-than-expected spur at the end. So it is important not to start too fast.

Het eerste deel is wat steiler, met een langer dan verwachte uitloper aan het einde. Belangrijk dus om niet al te snel te starten.

Fine training climb for if you live/are in the area. Otherwise not very special. Pay attention on the descent. Road surface is not always that good.

Fijn trainingsklimmetje voor als je in de buurt woont/bent. Verder niet heel bijzonder. Opletten bij de afdaling. Wegdek ligt er niet altijd even goed bij.

Climb through the woods. Not long, not steep, not special. Asphalt very moderate

A very nice path through the woods. The climb is not steep, but because the tarmac is not top notch either, it still feels quite tough

Een heel mooi pad door de bossen. De klim is niet steil, maar doordat het asfalt ook niet top is, voelt het toch best zwaar

Beautiful scenery with the climb flattening out quickly. Not very difficult, you're here for the scenery anyway.

Mooie omgevign waarbij de klim snel afvlakt. Niet heel moeilijk, je bent hier toch voor de omgeving.

Scenic climb where you also feel the incline anyway. You drive up through the forest. There are partly younger trees on either side, which gives a somewhat more spatial effect. Just before the highest point, you pass a beautiful gatehouse. The road is (almost) car-free so it is nice and quiet.

Landschappelijk mooie klim waarbij je ook de helling toch wel voelt. Je rijdt door het bos naar boven. Deels zijn aan weerszijden jongere boompjes wat een wat meer ruimtelijk effect geeft. Vlak voor het hoogste punt kom je langs een fraai poortgebouw. De weg is (vrijwel) autovrij dus heerlijk rustig.

Ik zie dus nu pas voor het eerst dat de Ruiterberg Zuid 'lichter' zou zijn dan de berg vanuit het noorden. Dat voelt niet zo, omdat je vanaf deze kant een scherpe bocht moet maken vanaf het fietspad en bijna vanuit stilstand (bij drukte althans wel) aan de klim begint. Niet steil, maar wel lang genoeg om de hartslag omhoog te jagen als je flink doortrapt. Herstellen kan heel goed in de afdaling, vanaf beide kanten is het fijn dalen.
