Tough climb. Like the Richelle, I do always have "trepidation" when I have to cross the junction to get there.... read more

Tough climb. Like the Richelle, I do always have "trepidation" when I have to cross the junction to get there.

Stevige klim. Net als de Richelle heb ik wel altijd "schrik" als ik de kruising over moet om er te komen.

Ridden up dozens of times. Remains a venom... so read "toil". Idd, busy road, winding slightly uphill, with uniformly punchy %. Once the cottages are in sight, the worst is over.

Tientallen keren opgereden. Blijft een venijn... dus lees "zwoegen". Idd, drukke weg, die zich licht slingerend naar omhoog baant, met gelijkmatig pittige %. Eenmaal de huisjes in zicht, is het ergste voorbij.

Nice even climb that you can ride after descending the Rue de Richelle. The road surface is good, but because of the narrower road and the heavy traffic you have to pay attention.

Mooie gelijkmatige klim die je kunt rijden na het afdalen van de Rue de Richelle. Het wegdek is goed, maar door de smallere weg en het vele verkeer is het wel opletten geblazen.

A steep climb with a very even slope. The road surface is perfect (especially for Wallonia), but can be quite busy at times. Also very nice to do as a descent, the smooth curves are not difficult to take at high speed.

Pittige klim met een zeer gelijkmatige helling. Het wegdek is perfect (zeker voor Wallonië), maar kan op momenten wel redelijk druk zijn. Ook zeer leuk om als afdaling te doen, de vloeiende bochten zijn niet moeilijk om met hoge snelheid te nemen.

Busy road, and therefore a very nasty climb. You feel very trapped by the traffic, and the steepness together with the lack of view don't help either.

Drukke weg, en daardoor een hele vervelende klim. Je voelt je heel bekneld door het verkeer, en de steilte samen met het gebrek aan uitzicht helpen ook niet.

Nice climb, good road surface, dives directly into the woods. Busy with cars though. Nice way to Rue Tesny (descend Bois de la Dame). Climb is still quite difficult (constantly round 10), certainly not the right material for a fast climb.

Mooie klim, goed wegdek, duikt direct het bos in. Wel druk met auto's. Mooi manier om naar de Rue Tesny te gaan (afdalen Bois de la Dame). Klim is nog best lastig (zit constant ronde 10%), zeker geen materiaal om in een keer op te knallen.

Got to climb today, but don't get it in my head as the last line above describes, to pull a big sprint up.... madness!!!
Nice and tough climb with a good road surface for Belgian standards.

Vandaag mogen beklimmen, maar haal het niet in mijn hoofd zoals de laatste regel hierboven beschrijft, om een flinke sprint naar boven te trekken....gekkenwerk!!
Mooie en pittige klim met een goed wegdek voor Belgische begrippen.
