A pleasant climb in warm weather, as most of the ascent is in the shade and the views beyond the woods are very pretty, but the asphalt is in terrible condition!... read more

A pleasant climb in warm weather, as most of the ascent is in the shade and the views beyond the woods are very pretty, but the asphalt is in terrible condition!

Montée agréable par temps chaud car la majorité de l'ascension se fait à l'ombre et les vues après le bois sont très jolies, par contre l'asphalte est dans un état épouvantable!!!

In the woods natural setting but some traffic and a very bad road in some places, the summit offers a better road but the best are the irregular %.

Dans les bois contexte naturelle mais un peu de circulation et une route très mauvais à certain endroit, le sommet propose une meilleure route mais le meilleur sont les % irrégulier

The start of this climb has recently changed : instead of the level crossing, there is now a brand new bridge over the railway from the roundabout. It's fun climbing there through the forest over a not-so-good road surface so unfortunately less smooth to descend.

De start van deze beklimming is recent gewijzigd : in plaats van de spoorwegovergang is er nu een gloednieuwe brug over de spoorweg vanaf de rotonde. Het is er leuk klimmen door het bos over een niet zo goed wegdek dat dus helaas minder vlot rijdt om af te dalen.

If the asphalt were any good, this hill would be one of the ones I like to take because 80％ is in the forest and doesn't have any monstrous ％, just a little 100m wall.

Si l'asphalte était bonne , cette côte serait une de celle que j'aime prendre car 80％ se trouve dans la forêt et n'as pas des ％ monstrueux, juste un petit mur de 100m

In the lower part of the slope (in the forest) the road surface is in poor condition. During peak hours there is a lot of traffic so avoiding potholes is not always possible. Further down the slope the road surface has been renewed and is in good condition.

In het onderste gedeelte van de helling (in het bos) is het wegdek in slechte staat. Tijdens de spitsuren is er wel degelijk verkeer waardoor het ontwijken van putten niet altijd mogelijk. Verder op de helling is het wegdek vernieuwd en in goede staat.
