I thought this was absolutely dreadful. Extremely steep at the start, and the hardest part never really levels off. It’s uneven all the way through. So you can’t get into a rhythm, which makes the steep sections really painful every single time. After the summit, it actually stays uneven. So as you keep riding, the climb basically continues in the same way for a bit longer. Good to have done it once.... read more

Dit vond ik een echte verschrikking. Enorm steil in het begin en het zwaarste eigenlijk nergens lang af. Onregelmatig tot en met. Dus je kan niet in je ritme geraken, waardoor de steile stukken echt elke keer opnieuw pijn doen. Na de top blijft het eigenlijk onregelmatig. Dus als je verder rijdt loopt de klim eigenlijk op dezelfde manier nog wat verder. Goed om één keer gedaan te hebben.
