As the profile clearly shows, this is a slope which, after a run-up of half a kilometre, becomes steadily steeper. More than ever, dosing is the message. The road surface is good, but not as good as the asphalt of the Valkenberg.... read more

Zoals het profiel duidelijk laat zien, is dit een helling die na een aanloop van een halve kilometer, voortdurend steiler wordt. Meer dan ooit is doseren de boodschap dus. Het wegdek is goed, maar bolt toch minder goed dan het asfalt van de valkenberg.

Parallel to the Valkenberg but without buildings. The road surface is made out of concrete slabs and that always annoys me. But it is a nicer environment to drive up. Nevertheless I still prefer the Valkenberg itself!

Parallel met de Valkenberg maar zonder bebouwing. Het wegdek is wel vervaardigd uit betonnen platen en dat ligt me altijd net iets minder. Wel een mooiere omgeving om naar boven te rijden. Ik verkies desondanks toch nog altijd de Valkenberg zelf!
