The start in the forest is very tough. The road is bad, the percentages very high. Once you get to the main road you can climb up at a fine pace.

Het begin in het bos is heel zwaar. De weg is slecht, de percentages heel hoog. Zodra je op de grote weg komt kun je in een fijn tempo omhoog klimmen.

The start is tough, but a little push on the pedals and you're through. The road surface quickly improves and you can enjoy the surroundings. There is little traffic on the weekend, and a good climb to get the legs going. Find your pace and keep going is the motto here.

De start is stevig, maar even op de trappers en je bent erdoor. Het wegdek wordt snel beter en je kunt genieten van de omgeving. Weinig verkeer in het weekend iig, en een goede klim om de benen op scherp te zetten. Je tred vinden en doorgaan is hier het devies.

The beginning of the climb is pretty solid with a bit up to 20％. The road is narrow and quite battered.
Once you get on the main road it is more pleasant. The percentages remain stable around 7％ and the road is great riding.
On the way there is only forest and it seems like there is no end to it.

Het begin van de klim is behoorlijk stevig met een stukje tot 20％. De weg is smal en behoorlijk gehavend.
Eens je op de grote weg komt is het aangenamer. De percentages blijven stabiel rond 7％ en de weg is heerlijk rijden.
Onderweg is er enkel bos te zien waardoor er geen einde aan lijkt te komen.

On leaving the village, the road immediately climbs steeply into the forest on a bad, narrow road with many potholes. Just before turning onto the main road, I think you hit the 20％ mark. Once on the main road, the road surface is much better with more traffic, the percentages drop and it is constantly around 7％ to the top.

Bij het buiten rijden van het dorpje gaat het direct steil omhoog in het bos op een slechte, smalle weg met veel putten. Net voor het opdraaien van de grote weg tik je volgens mij de 20％ aan. Eens op de grote weg is het wegdek wel een stuk beter met meer verkeer, zakken de percentages en is het constant ronde de 7％ tot de top.
