Not too long climb in the shade through the forest. The start is nice and snappy with sections above 10％ and then some below. At the end it flattens out. The descent has a lot of loose gravel, so watch out is the advice.... read more

Niet al te lange klim in de schaduw door het bos. Het begin is lekker pittig met stukken boven de 10％ en dan weer wat daaronder. Aan het eind vlakt het af. De afdaling heeft veel los grind, dus uitkijken is het advies.
