Gradually ascending climb with a quiet, rural beginning that turns into the beautiful forest of Bois de la Houssière. The alternation between open stretches and forest makes it a pleasant and varied climb with a fine flow. Not a heavy exhaustor, but one with character and beautiful surroundings.... read more

Geleidelijk oplopende klim met een rustig, landelijk begin dat overgaat in het mooie bos van Bois de la Houssière. De afwisseling tussen open stukken en bos maakt het een aangename en gevarieerde klim met een fijne flow. Geen zware uitputter, maar wel eentje met karakter en een mooie omgeving.

A very cool climb to the Bois de la Houssière. The foot of the climb is a little tricky but the rest is really smooth and fun to ride. If you turn round you can see a beautiful view of Ronquières and its inclined plane. The last section through the woods is superb and provides shade on very hot days.

Montée très cool pour aller vers le bois de la Houssière. Le pied est un peu difficile mais la suite est vraiment roulante et sympa à rouler. Si vous vous retournez vous pourrez voir une belle vue sur Ronquières et son plan incliné. La dernière partie dans les bois est superbe et permet d'avoir de l'ombre quand il fait très chaud.

Called "Les Gaudys" in the Cotacol encyclopedia. My favourite climb to the Houssière wood, for the variety of sceneries it offers: rural in its first part, final in the wood, crossing Henripont. And one of the steepest gradients in the area. Pleasant access on an isolated cycle track along the Sennette, if you come from Ronquières.

Appelée « Les Gaudys » dans l'encyclopédie Cotacol. Ma montée préférée vers le bois de la Houssière, pour la variété de décors qu'elle propose : champêtre dans sa première partie, finale dans le bois, traversée d'Henripont. Et une des dénivellations les plus fortes des environs. Accès agréable sur une piste cyclable isolée le long de la Sennette, si on vient de Ronquières.
