Klim in twee delen vanuit de bebouwing van Rijkhoven langs kasteel Alden Biesen. Voor het eerste klimdeel start je in het dorp en klim je gestaag omhoog naar de rand van de kasteeltuin. Hierna daal je langs het kasteel af en zie je het tweede klimdeel al voor je liggen. Dit loopt kort even wat meer op om tot slot naar de top af te vlakken naar vals plat.
A climb that starts relaxed between the houses. After the turn, you have the first summit in sight and a nice slope runs up to it. After the top, a small descent after which the second climb looms in more open terrain near the pretty castle. With a nice lurch, the climb continues for a while to the finish. The first part of the climb consists of concrete slabs, the rest is good tarmac.
Een klim die relaxed tussen de huizen begint. Na de bocht heb je de eerste top in zicht en er loopt een leuke helling daar naar toe. Na de top een klein afdaling waarna in meer open terrein bij het fraaie kasteel de tweede klim opdoemt. Met een leuke slinger nog even aanzetten tot het eindpunt. Het eerste deel van de klim bestaat de weg uit betonplaten, de rest is goed asfalt.
