Climb from the canal bank eastward. It starts nice with a hairpin turn and until halfway up the climb the gradient fluctuates tremendously. The second half of the climb is false flat. The road surface is in terrible condition.
Klim vanaf de oever van het kanaal in oostelijke richting. Het begint leuk met een haarspeldbocht en tot halfverwege de klim fluctueert het stijgingspercentage enorm. De tweede helft van de klim is vals plat. Het wegdek verkeert in een erbarmelijke staat.
The first hairpin was really nice with some really nice gradients, then the road got a bit worse but not like the climb at "Mon plaisir" where you're bound to fall off on the way down. BUT the day I climbed it was particularly wet, and the days before too, so I had to put my foot down because it was impassable, and then several logs were strewn across the ground: put your foot down. The road became passable again, but deteriorated into a path over time until it became one a hundred metres or so before returning to the main road.
Première épingle sympa avec des pourcentages vraiment sympa, ensuite la route se dégrade un peu mais pas comme dans la côte de "Mon plaisir" où la chute est assurée en descente. MAIS le jour où je l'ai montée était particulièrement humide et les jours d'avant aussi, donc obliger de mettre pied à terre car impraticable ensuite plusieurs bûches jonchaient au sol : pied à terre. La route devient de nouveau praticable mais se dégrade en chemin au fil du temps jusqu'à en devenir un une centaine de mètres avant de retourner sur la grand route.
This rue Godart is currently in a very poor state of repair from start to finish (when it joins the chaussée de Soignies). Bikes with narrow tyres, such as 25 mm, are not recommended, especially on downhill sections. A gravel bike is much better suited to this type of very rough surface. It's a shame, though, because it's a pleasant place to ride, and using this street would be a much quieter alternative to the busy chaussée de Soignies.
Attention, cette côte est actuellement en très mauvais état, peu après son début et jusqu'à la chaussée de Soignies. À déconseiller donc aux vélos munis de pneus étroits, genre 25 mm de section, a fortiori en descente. Un «gravel» est bien plus adapté à ce genre de revêtement très dégradé. Dommage, car le cadre est agréable, et emprunter cette rue serait une alternative bien plus tranquille à la très fréquentée chaussée de Soignies.
