The first part of the climb on the main road is somewhat true to its name. Bit miserable. But from the moment you turn left onto the smaller road it is really enjoyable! Nice road surface, decent percentages, little traffic and fun and varied scenery!... read more

Het eerste deel van de klim op de grote weg is doet de naam wel wat eer aan. Beetje miserabel. Maar vanaf dat je linksaf de kleinere weg opdraait is het echt genieten! Mooi wegdek, degelijke percentages, weinig verkeer en een leuke en afwisselende omgeving!
