This is such'a climb that you can do wonderfully on the power ... One cadence and go! And the first few kilometers you swing through some villages but after a few hairpin bends you turn into a kind of jungle ... After a few kilometers at an altitude of 980m you come out on a plateau after that it is still a few kilometers up and down!... read more

Dit is zo'n klim die je heerlijk op de macht kan doen... één cadans en gaan! En de eerste paar kilometer slinger je door wat dorpjes maar na een paar haarspeldbochten draai je een soort van jungle in... fantastisch mooi! na een paar kilometer op een hoogte van 980m kom je op een hoogvlakte uit daarna is het nog een paar kilometer op en af! maar een super mooie klim!
