Gradual climb from Fumay that starts quietly but clearly increases in intensity towards the Belgian border. From there it becomes steady pedalling at medium-heavy percentages, although it sometimes feels heavier due to the changing road surface. Long, gentle forest climb ideal for riding a brisk pace.... read more

Geleidelijke klim vanuit Fumay die rustig begint maar richting de Belgische grens duidelijk in intensiteit toeneemt. Vanaf daar wordt het gelijkmatig doortrappen aan middelzware percentages, al voelt het soms zwaarder door het wisselende wegdek. Lange, rustige bosklim die ideaal is om een stevig tempo te rijden.

Starting from Fumay another ambetant/quiet (fill in your own) false flat. From the Belgian border it starts to climb briskly, though on smooth new asphalt. 2nd part even at mid-high percentages. Nice climb, but be careful on the descent as you enter Oignies with its poorer quality road surface.

Startend vanuit Fumay nog een ambetant/rustig (vul zelf in) vals plat. Vanaf de Belgische grens begint het stevig op te lopen, echter op glad nieuw asfalt. 2de deel egaal aan midhoge percentages. Mooie klim, in de afdaling wel opletten als je Oignies binnenrijd met minder goede kwaliteit van wegdek.

Climbed from Fumay (March 2021). The climb seems to get heavier and heavier with quite some 10％% sections. Little traffic and good road conditions in both countries. Nice practice climb!

Beklommen vanuit Fumay (maart 2021). De klim lijkt alsmaar zwaarder te worden met toch heel wat stroken van 10％. Weinig verkeer en een goed wegdek in beide landen. Leuke oefenklim!

Climb in two parts, as you can see from the profile. The first part in France has a good road surface and a separate cycle path. This is a smooth ride. Once we arrive in Belgium, the road surface is bad. There the climb feels heavier than the 7％ written down, especially the first part seems steeper.
The landscape is that of a typical Ardennes climb, nice and between the woods.

Klim in twee delen, dat zie je ook aan het profiel. Eerste deel in Frankrijk heeft een goedlopend wegdek en apart fietspad. Dat loopt dan ook vlot. Eenmaal in België aangekomen wordt het wegdek slecht. Daar voelt de klim zwaarder aan dan de 7％ die op papier staat, vooral het eerste stuk lijkt ook steiler.
Landschap is dat van een typische Ardennenklim, mooi tussen de bossen.
