The ambling and poorly run variant of the steenberg. Not my favourite climb towards Brussegem, but the fastest. Lots of traffic and very tricky in headwinds.... read more

Good to ride up in groups, as the bike path is not equally good everywhere (but not dramatically bad). The road surface (including bike path) has been renewed in the second part of the slope and is in good condition.

Goed om in groep op te rijden, want het fietspad is niet overal even goed (maar niet dramatisch slecht). Het wegdek (incl. fietspad) is in het tweede deel van de helling vernieuwd en in goed staat.

De ambetante en slechtlopende variant van de steenberg. Niet mijn favoriete klim richting Brussegem, wel de snelste. Veel verkeer en zeer lastig bij tegenwind.

Drukke baan, slecht fietspad met momenten. Reeds regelmatig gedaan als kortste weg tussen bestemmingen maar als je tijd hebt, neem zeker een andere route. veel mooiere baantjes in de buurt.
