First climb as you cycle from the Scheldt over the Gavere Bridge towards the Zwalm area. Pretty busy road where cars're allowed max 30 so safe in itself. Shortly steep along the centre of Gavere on the left up to the church, then it flattens out a bit towards the end.... read more

First climb as you cycle from the Scheldt over the Gavere Bridge towards the Zwalm area.

Pretty busy road where cars're allowed max 30 so safe in itself.

Shortly steep along the centre of Gavere on the left up to the church, then it flattens out a bit towards the end.

Eerste klimmetje als je van de Schelde over de Gaverebrug richting de Zwalmstreek fietst.

Vrij drukke weg waar auto's max 30 mogen rijden dus op zich wel veilig.

Even steil langs centrum Gavere aan de linkerkant tot aan de kerk, daarna vlakt het wel wat uit naar het einde toe.

This bridge is really not that steep. It's easy to do, but an irritating uphill when the legs are already empty from flaming next to the Scheldt. So I've already cursed on it a few times.

Deze brug is echt niet zo steil. Het is makkelijk te doen, maar wel een irritant opstaken als de benen al leeg zijn van te vlammen naast de Schelde. Ik heb er dus al een paar keer op gevloekt.

You have to pass it often as it follows one of the bridges over the Scheldt. Not much to it, though. Is along a fairly busy road, partly over bike path. The asphalt/cycle path is good in terms of surface though. In the city centre it gets equally steep but never problematic.

Je moet er vaak voor bij gezien hij volgt op één van de bruggen over de Schelde. Echter niet veel aan. Is langs een vrij drukke weg, deels over fietspad. Het asfalt/fietspad is wel goed qua ondergrond. In het centrum wordt het even steil maar nooit problematisch.

From Dikkelvenne, the climb for Gavere begins. In the beginning it runs nicely. Only the last stretch takes some pedalling because that's where the climb has the most gradient.

Vanuit Dikkelvenne begint de klim voor Gavere. In het begin loopt het lekker. Alleen het laatste stuk is even doortrappen omdat daar het meeste stijging in de klim zit. Ben je aan iets te eten toe: dan lekker uitbollen en op de Markt in Gavere bij één van de eetgelegenheden hapje eten.

One of the first hills with a reasonable gradient near where I live. Here I learned the importance of "pacing" during training for the climb of Mont Ventoux. The first time, I rode myself into the red here by wanting to go too fast. The stretch to 8% then cuts in. But after a lot of climbs in the Flemish Ardennes, you take it easy and you get to the top in no time. And then you happily ride on to the next hill in Dikkelvenne.

Een van de eerste hellingen met een redelijk stijgpercentage in de buurt van mijn woonplaats. Hier leerde ik het belang van "pacing" tijdens training voor de beklimming van de Mont Ventoux. De eerste keer reed ik mij hier in het rood door te snel te willen gaan. Het stuk aan 8% hakt er dan in. Maar na heel wat hellingen in de Vlaamse Ardennen, pak het het rustiger aan en ben je zo boven. En dan rij je met plezier door naar de volgende heuvel in Dikkelvenne.

I live up there, so I know this climb like the back of my hand. There is nothing special about it, but if you come from the other side of the Scheldt, you often have to pass it.

Ik woon daar boven, dus ik ken deze klim als mijn broekzak. Veel bijzonders is er echter niet aan, maar als je van de overkant van de scheld komt, moet je hier dikwijls wel voorbij.
