In itself, nothing wrong with this climb. But there are much nicer alternatives nearby.
Op zich niets mis met deze klim. Maar er zijn veel leukere alternatieven in de buurt.
The climb itself is not too bad, not too steep + at the cobbles you can try to cycle in the gutter. The big downside is that you have to ride to the Holleweg and those cobbles are really terrible
De klim op zich valt mee, niet al te steil + bij de kasseien kan je in het gootje proberen fietsen. Het grote minpunt is dat je naar de Holleweg moet rijden en die kasseien zijn echt verschrikkelijk..
I always have mixed feelings about this climb. Not so difficult on paper but because of its proximity to Oudenaarde and because you have to go through a residential area first, you often lose your speed at the foot. Then it doesn't get as steep and you come to Volkegem which is a beautiful village, but because of the cobbles you do lose your rhythm again. After the cobbles it rises further for a while but is no longer tough.
Ik heb altijd gemengde gevoelens over deze klim. Op papier niet zo moeilijk maar door de nabijheid bij Oudenaarde en doordat je door een woonwijk moet eerst ben je vaak je snelheid kwijt aan de voet. Daarna loopt het niet zo steil op en kom je in Volkegem wat een prachtig dorpje is, maar door de kasseien ben je wel opnieuw je ritme kwijt. Na de kasseien loopt het nog even verder op maar is niet meer zwaar.
Easy cobbled climb, definitely recommended for new cyclists. The climb is nowhere too steep, the cobbles are ok.
Makkelijke kasseiklim, zeker een aanrader voor nieuwe fietsers. De klim is nergens te steil, de kasseien liggen er ok bij.
