Hardly to be called a road bike track. Bad road surface. Bad cobblestones. Bah!

Amper een racefiets baantje te noemen. Slecht wegdek. Slechte kasseien. Bah!

Superb ascent in undergrowth.
If you don't like the infamous cobblestone road, don't bother!
The state of the road plus the percentage makes it a difficult climb even if it climbs well and is not too long.
Nice discovery.

Superbe ascension en sous bois.
Si vous n aimez pas le pavé infâme passer votre chemin !
L état de la route plus le pourcentage fait que c est une montée quand même difficile même si elle se grimpe bien et n est pas trop longue.
Chouette découverte.

One option is to do a hill with tricky cobblestones nearby.
Seems at first a bad field road where you enter, with cobblestones and weeds.
Afterwards the climb continues in a hollow road where the cobblestones take over, but are not so good.
Percentages are not too bad and you're up before you know it.

Een optie om in de buurt eens een helling te doen met lastige kasseien.
Lijkt in eerste instantie een slechte veldweg waar je inrijdt, met kasseien en onkruid.
Nadien loopt de klim door in een holle weg waar de kasseien het overnemen, maar niet zo goed liggen.
Percentages vallen goed mee en je bent boven voordat je het weet.
