This one is not so difficult on paper but does not run very smoothly. The road is quiet enough and the tarmac is reasonable. Otherwise not very remarkable. I prefer the Poudreries, for example.... read more

Deze is op papier niet zo moeilijk maar loopt niet zo vlot. De weg is rustig genoeg en het asfalt is redelijk. Verder niet zo heel opmerkelijk. Ik heb liever de Poudreries bijvoorbeeld.

This climb was part of the top competition at Jemeppe sur Meuse. It was at the start of the course and it didn't go too badly, only the weakest riders dropped off. It went up at a steady pace without going too fast. I found the climb quite nice through the woods and the road quite pleasant.

Montée effectuée lors de la top compétition de Jemeppe sur Meuse. Elle se trouvait en début de parcours et ça n'a pas trop pété, seulement les coureurs les plus faibles ont lachés. Ca a monté au train sans aller trop vite. J'ai trouvé la montée assez belle dans les bois et la route est assez agréable

Nice climb over good tarmac! (Exceptional for this area) even percentages and bits along cooling bushes. This feels like a relief from all the brutal violence in the immediate vicinity.

Leuke klim over goed asfalt! (Uitzonderlijk voor deze omgeving) gelijkmatige percentages en stukjes langs verkoelende bosjes. Dit voelt als een verademing tegenover al het bruut geweld in de directe nabijheid.

Done it today as a descent, but will definitely plan a route to climb it one day. Quite a bit of traffic but that didn't bother me. Beautiful surroundings.
From Villers-le-Temple you can climb the Thier de Scry - also worthwhile.

Vandaag als afdaling gedaan, maar ga zeker eens een route plannen om hem ook te klimmen. Redelijk wat verkeer maar dat stoorde niet. Mooie omgeving.
Vanuit Villers-le-Temple kan je de Thier de Scry meepikken - ook de moeite.
