The easiest side of the Donkerstraat (the heavier version you take from Gelrode). From the Hellegat take as much speed as you can and then you will have no problems with the first part. After that it is just a matter of standing up on the pedals and the second part is a piece of cake.... read more

The easiest side of the Donkerstraat (the heavier version you take from Gelrode).

De gemakkelijkste kant van de Donkerstraat (de zwaardere versie neem je vanuit Gelrode).
Neem vanaf het Hellegat zoveel mogelijk snelheid mee, en dan knal je probleemloos het eerste stuk op.
Nadien is het even rechtstaan op de trappers, en het tweede deel is zo gepiept.

Nice climb where you can go up the first part on the big slab. Halfway up it's a bit more false flat and the last 200 meters are a lot higher and I have to change to a smaller gear. For me, this climb is usually in the last part of my rides so it feels pretty tough.

Leuke klim waar je het eerste deel op de grote plaat naar boven kan . Halfweg loopt het wat meer vals plat om de laatste 200 meter toch pittig op te lopen en ik naar een kleinere versnelling moet. Voor mij ligt deze klim meestal in het laatste del van mijn ritten waardoor hij best zwaar aanvoelt.

As a child this slope frightened me, but it is actually a nice one. Keep pedalling after the Sint-Jobsweg and you'll be at the top in no time, then it becomes flat again and you'll have a bump before you reach the top.

Als kind boezemde deze helling me angst in, maar is het eigenlijk een leuke. Trap in de afdaling na de Sint-Jobsweg door en je bent het eerste deel zo boven, daarna wordt het heel even terug plat en heb je nog een bult voor je boven bent.
