Not the toughest approach to the Cerre.... Not the most difficult alternative. It can be crowded before you get to the final traffic-free zone though. Up to the top you should definitely do this climb. After the chain across the track you are perfectly allowed to continue as a cyclist. When I passed it there were just police and I asked them if I could go up. The chain is only there for motorized traffic. The final climb is punchy and nice on fine road surface.

Not the toughest approach to the Cerre.... Not the most difficult alternative. It can be crowded before you get to the final traffic-free zone though.
Up to the top you should definitely do this climb. After the chain across the track you are perfectly allowed to continue as a cyclist. When I passed it there were just police and I asked them if I could go up. The chain is only there for motorized traffic.
The final climb is punchy and nice on fine road surface. If there is a lot of wind the descent is tricky. Also remember that there is a chain hanging over the road when descending 😄

Niet de zwaarste aanloop naar de Cerre... Niet het moeilijkste alternatief. Het kan er wel druk zijn voor je aan de uiteindelijke verkeersvrijwilligers zone komt.
Tot de top moet je deze beklimming zeker doen. Na de ketting over de baan mag je als fietser perfect verder. Toen ik er passeerde stond er net politie en ik heb bij hen geïnformeerd of ik naar boven mocht. De ketting hangt er enkel voor gemotoriseerd verkeer.
De finale klim is pittig en mooi op prima wegdek. Als er veel wind is dan is de afdaling wel tricky. Vergeet ook niet dat er een ketting over de weg hangt bij het afdalen 😄
