This climb (or actually two climbs) does not really follow a natural route. So you need to know where to go. After the first slightly ascending stretch, right through the centre of Hoeilaart, at a T-junction you have to go straight into an alley, which makes you wonder whether you can and should cycle there. That alley is very steep and the square pebbles (not real cobblestones!) are inverted in steps. So your front wheel keeps falling down a bit. Combine that with the enormous percentages and y... read more

This climb (or actually two climbs) does not really follow a natural route. So you need to know where to go. After the first slightly ascending stretch, right through the centre of Hoeilaart, at a T-junction you have to go straight into an alley, which makes you wonder whether you can and should cycle there. That alley is very steep and the square pebbles (not real cobblestones!) are inverted in steps. So your front wheel keeps falling down a bit. Combine that with the enormous percentages and you really have to pedal hard. At the top, you turn right and see a huge wall further on. This image is reinforced by the very steep descent that leads to it. Fortunately, here you ride on the road again, because at the end of the descent you have to turn left onto a busy road. There you start the wall, which is steep, but fortunately not as bad as it looked from a distance, All in all a bizarre combination of 2 climbs that really exhausts you!

Deze klim (of eigenlijk twee klimmen) volgt niet echt een natuurlijk parcours. Je moet dus goed weten waar je heen moet. Na het eerste licht oplopende stuk, dwars door het centrum van Hoeilaart moet je op een T-splitsing rechtdoor een steegje in, waarvan je je afvraagt of je daar wel kan en mag fietsen. Dat steegje is erg steil en de vierkante steentjes (geen echte kasseien!) liggen omgekeerd trapsgewijs. Je voorwiel valt dus steeds een stukje naar beneden. Combineer dat met de enorme percentages en je moet echt even flink op de trappers stampen. Boven draai je naar rechts af en zie je verderop een enorme muur liggen. Dat beeld wordt versterkt door de hele steile afdaling die daar naartoe leidt. Gelukkig rij je hier wel gewoon weer over de weg, want aan het einde van die afdaling moet je linksaf de drukke(re) weg opslaan. Daar begin je aan de muur, die wel steil is, maar gelukkig minder erg als dat het er van een afstandje uitzag, Al met al een bizarre combinatie van 2 klimmen die je echt wel even uitput!

More like a sequence of two climbs than a climb, but this one is particularly tough, because of the brutal breaks in the slopes... and the slopes themselves. A very good test for the management of gear changes!

You have to be very careful on the steep intermediate descent (Félix Timmermanslaan) and not go too fast, otherwise the crossing with the Edgard Sohiestraat can be dangerous if there are cars!

Detail: the cobblestones of the Félix Sohiestraat are not indicated in the profile.

Plutôt un enchaînement de deux côtes qu'une côte à proprement parler, mais cet enchaînement-là est particulièrement corsé, en raison des ruptures de pentes brutales… et des pentes elles-mêmes. Un très bon test pour la gestion des changements de braquets !

Il faut se montrer prudent dans la raide descente intermédiaire (Félix Timmermanslaan) et ne surtout pas y prendre trop de vitesse, sinon le croisement avec la Edgard Sohiestraat peut être dangereux s'il y a des voitures !

Détail : les pavés de la Félix Sohiestraat ne sont pas indiqués dans le profil.
