After miscalculating the route, we drove down past Oak Mountain and then drove up past here, the climb is very nice and not much traffic. But because of the way to get there, it is not recommended.

Na een foute routeberekening langs de Eikenberg naar beneden gereden en dan langs hier naar boven gereden, de klim is zeer leuk en niet veel verkeer. Maar door de manier om er te komen is het geen aanrader.

This is usually used as a descent to get to Eikenberg. Especially also because you can only get to the foot via a busy road or you could descend the Eikenberg which is not recommended. Fortunately, the busy road is also an option as there is a nice bike path and a nice cycling café nearby. The Ellestraat first starts with a bit of false flat between houses where you think: is this it now? No thankfully not, once you leave the houses it gets a bit steeper, although I don't think it's 10％. You take the steepest bit through a hollow road and then the worst is passed and it flattens out. The road surface does get worse here. The finish is at the well-known mill where several climbs converge.

Deze wordt meestal als afdaling gebruikt om naar de Eikenberg te gaan. Vooral ook omdat je enkel naar de voet kan via een drukke weg of je zou de Eikenberg kunnen afdalen wat niet aan te raden is. De drukke weg is gelukkig ook een optie want er is een mooi fietspad en in de buurt ook een leuk wielercafé. De Ellestraat begint eerst met een stukje vals plat tussen de huizen waarbij je denkt: is dit het nu? Nee gelukkig niet, eens je de huizen verlaat loopt het wat steiler op, al denk ik dat het geen 10％ is. Je neemt het steilste stukje doorheen een holle weg en dan is het ergste gepasseerd en vlakt het af. Het wegdek wordt hier wel slechter. De finish is aan de welbekende molen waar verschillende beklimmingen samen komen.
