Grote baan met doorgaand verkeer, ook vrachtwagens. Goed te doen als snelle afdaling, maar om te klimmen zijn er betere alternatieven in de streek.

Very nice wide road. Unfortunately during my ride also the necessary freight traffic. The climb itself is doable in terms of steepness. Runs nicely.

Hele mooie brede weg. Helaas tijdens mijn rit ook de nodige vrachtverkeer. De klim zelf is goed te doen qua steilte. Loopt lekker.

The road is beautiful, at least the surface is, but motorists know that too. That's the big drawback. It only climbs at the beginning and the rest is not very exciting. Nothing to see at the finish. In a nutshell. Not really unforgettable!

La route est belle, enfin son revêtement, mais les automobilistes le savent aussi. C’est le gros point noir. Ça ne grimpe qu’au début et la suite est assez peu excitante. Rien à voir à l’arrivée. Bref. Vraiment pas inoubliable !

Beautiful new road surface. The ascent is not very demanding. I would really like to do the section though, because I think you can fly down.

Prachtig nieuw wegdek. De beklimming stelt niet zo veel. Heel graag zou ik de afdeling wel willen doen, want volgens mij kun je naar beneden vliegen.
