Nice alternative instead of the busy stone road I usually take towards Aarschot. The slope starts in the village of Nieuwrode, where it can already be a bit busier. Here you can still pick up speed. After the glass containers on your right, it already starts to climb a bit. Under the trees, the real work starts with a sharp left turn. If you find your rhythm and can still apply power, you will reach the top. Nowhere does it get really steep. The road surface consists of concrete slabs with l... read more

Nice alternative instead of the busy stone road I usually take towards Aarschot.

The slope starts in the village of Nieuwrode, where it can already be a bit busier. Here you can still pick up speed.
After the glass containers on your right, it already starts to climb a bit. Under the trees, the real work starts with a sharp left turn. If you find your rhythm and can still apply power, you will reach the top. Nowhere does it get really steep. The road surface consists of concrete slabs with little stones visible here and there because the top layer is gone. This makes it not a smooth ride. After the steepest part there is a small threshold and then the road surface changes to cobbles. Here it is already a bit easier. Only after the last right-hand bend to the summit can the last bit still hurt.
As a reward, you have a fantastic view of the surroundings at the top, especially if you head towards the Rot on the left.

Fun fact: At the top, a giraffe is waiting for you ;)

Leuk alternatief in plaats van de drukke steenweg die ik meestal neem richting Aarschot.

De helling begint in het dorp van Nieuwrode, waar het al wat drukker kan zijn. Hier kan je nog snelheid maken.
Na de glascontainers aan je rechterkant begint het al wat op te lopen. Onder de bomen begint het echte werk met een scherpe bocht naar links. Als je je ritme vindt en nog kracht kunt zetten, kom je goed boven. Het wordt nergens echt steil. Het wegdek bestaat uit betonplaten met hier en daar zichtbare steentjes omdat de toplaag weg is. Hierdoor loopt het niet vlot. Na het steilste stuk komt er een drempeltje en dan gaat het wegdek over in klinkers. Hier is het al wat makkelijker. Enkel na de laatste bocht naar rechts tot de top, kan het laatste stukje nog wel pijn doen.
Als beloning heb je boven een fantastisch uitzicht op de omgeving, vooral als je richting het Rot rijdt aan de linkerkant.

Leuk weetje: Boven op de top staat een giraf je op te wachten ;)

The first part is hardly more than a bit of false flat, but you can see a house at the top which makes you realise that it is not that simple. Towards the hairpin bend, it starts to get steeper and the last part is even steeper. Nice to do once if you are in the area.

Het eerste deel is nauwelijks meer dan wat vals plat, maar je ziet bovenaan een huis liggen waardoor het besef al snel komt dat het niet zo simpel blijft. Richting de haarspeldbocht begint het al op te lopen en het laatste deel gaat het nog wat steiler. Leuk om een keer te doen als je in de buurt bent.

After a slight start-up stretch, you come to a section of wall where it is sometimes a bit of a curse.
If you are already broken down, you may come across yourself painfully here on this short stretch.

Na een licht aanloopstukje kom je op een stuk muur terecht, waar het soms even vloeken is.
Als je al kapot zit dan kan je hier op dit korte stukje jezelf pijnlijk tegenkomen.
