Montée qui commence plutôt autour du kilomètre 8 et qui s’arrête plus ou moins au kilomètre 16. Même si elle est très longue, on peut clairement dire qu’elle n’est pas aussi impressionnante que pourrait le laisser penser climbfinder même si certains passages peuvent en achever plus d’un.
At first, nice quiet road past small villages and the Ponga river. Part 2 after Sellano it becomes steep. Small road, partly through the forest with beautiful views. Descent on other side past village of Viega pleasant. Nice and steep, but clear and good tarmac.
In het begin mooie rustige weg langs kleine dorpjes en de Ponga rivier. Deel 2 na Sellano wordt het pas steil. Klein weggetje, deels door het bos met prachtige vergezichten. Afdaling aan andere kant langs dorpje Viega aangenaam. Lekker steil, maar overzichtelijk en goed asfalt.
The start is very easy, and actually the real climbing only starts at the hamlet of Cainava. It is reminiscent of a region like the Ardeche. It's not extremely tough all round either. Wet though, and often. The chances of riding here in the blazing sun are slim in my opinion. Still, it's not very cold. Around 17 degrees during the day, or slightly warmer. 'Winter will be colder, though. The scenery is green, and desolate. Asphalt is fine. The region is undiscovered for tourists, and therefore you really ride here in peace and quiet. This is really better than the scorching sun in the French mid-mountains.
Het begin is zeer eenvoudig, en eigenlijk begint het echte klimmen pas bij het gehucht Cainava. Het doet denken aan een regio als de Ardeche. Het is ook niet extreem zwaar allemaal. Wel nat, en vaak ook. De kans dat je hier in de brandende zon zal rijden acht ik klein. Toch is het niet heel koud. Een graad of 17 overdag, of ietsje warmer. 'S-winters zal het wel kouder zijn. De omgeving is groen, en desolaat. Asfalt is prima. De regio is onontdekt voor toeristen en daardoor rij je hier echt in alle rust. Dit is echt beter dan de brandende zon in de Franse middengebergten.
