Very quiet single-lane road. Largely well-sheltered. Highly variable percentages, you don't get into a rhythm quickly.

Heel rustig eenbaansweggetje. Grotendeels goed beschut. Sterk wisselende percentages, je komt niet snel in een ritme.
Asfalt hier en daar erg slecht, kuilen en gaten, veel grit. Niet geschikt als afdaling
