Nice and even road. After a long run-up with 1-2％, the road goes up a bit more, but it never gets really steep. Fine tarmac, nice downhill too.... read more

Divine descent. Also, the climb is not very steep, but it can still chop pretty hard after a long ride. The last 2 to 3 kilometres are fine for you to put on a big gear, and unload your cycling buddies. Beautiful climb, just do it.

Nice long climb where you can keep good pressure on the pedals. Nowhere heavy.

Fine not too steep climb, no or very little traffic. Can get incredibly hot in the afternoon, though. Make sure you have enough drinks. Very nice descent.
