Quite a steep uphill ride along an admittedly rather busy lane but on a nice bike path ( especially the second part past the intersection). The bike path is also nicely separated from the cars by a nice and wide grass verge. You can go up here with dr big plateau but with wind up it can make your legs fill up. Many take a left half way up Roeselberg which is a bit steeper but then you have to cross the 3 lane road. The bike path in the second part is also several meters higher than the road.

Quite a steep uphill ride along an admittedly rather busy lane but on a nice bike path ( especially the second part past the intersection). The bike path is also nicely separated from the cars by a nice and wide grass verge. You can go up here with dr big plateau but with wind up it can make your legs fill up. Many take a left half way up Roeselberg which is a bit steeper but then you have to cross the 3 lane road. The bike path in the second part is also several meters higher than the road. You can also turn left after the descent and then left again on the old Aarschotsesteenweg with a super steep section at the end that gives you almost 100 altimeters in just over 2 km.

Best een stevig stukje bergop rijden langs een weliswaar tamelijk drukke baan maar over een mooi fietspad ( vooral het tweede deel voorbij het kruispunt). Het fietspad is ook mooi gescheiden van de auto's door een mooie en brede grasberm. Je kan hier met dr grote plateau naar boven maar met windop kan het je de benen laten vollopen. Velen nemen halfweg linksaf de Roeselberg die nog wat steiler is maar dan moet je wel de 3vaksbaan oversteken. Het fietspad ligt in het 2de deel ook verschillende meters hoger dan de weg . Ook kan je na de afdaling linksaf en terug links de oude Aarschotsesteenweg nemen met op het einde een super steil stukje waardoor je op dik 2 km tijd bijna 100 hoogtemeters hebt.
