Nice long climb that I, like many others, took on my way to the epic Angliru. Climb is familiar from the Vuelta. The first part is through forest, but then the scenery opens up and you are treated to nice views. The road surface is good and there is little traffic. The end of the climb is extremely tough! Once at the top, you actually pass a ridge and it goes down nicely, with views of Oviedo and the Atlantic Ocean in good weather!... read more

Mooie lange klim die ik, net als veel anderen, nam op weg naar de epische Angliru. Klim is bekend uit de Vuelta. Het eerste deel is door het bos, maar daarna wordt de omgeving opener en word je getrakteerd op mooie uitzichten. Het wegdek is goed en er komt weinig verkeer. Het einde van de klim is uitermate pittig! Eenmaal boven passeer je echt een bergkam en gaat het lekker naar beneden, waarbij je bij goed weer uitzicht op Oviedo en de Atlantische Oceaan hebt!.

This climb from Pola de Lena is usually the apertif on the way to the mythical Angliru. You can expect a tough warm-up, because the often double percentages do not lie. This is a tough climb where you hardly encounter any traffic.

Deze klim vanuit Pola de Lena is meestal het apertiefje op weg naar de mythische Angliru. Je mag dan wel een stevige opwarmer verwachten, want de veelal dubbele percentages liegen niet. Dit is een lastige klim waar je nauwelijks verkeer tegen komt.
