Easy running climb, the heat can be the biggest opponent. After 15 km, there is an opportunity to buy water etc in a supermarket or grab a terrace. After that, you ride more among the trees and have some grip on the km signs (with gradient) along the side of the road, although some signs are also missing.... read more

Stunning, not much traffic, and a consistent grade of 4-5％.

Makkelijk lopende klim, de hitte kan de grootste tegenstander zijn. Na 15 km is er de mogelijkheid om water e.d. in een supermarkt te kopen of een terrasje te pakken. Daarna rij je meer tussen de bomen en heb je wat houvast aan de km bordjes (met stijgingspercentage) langs de kant van de weg, alhoewel er ook wel wat bordjes missen.
