Like others here, I don't really understand why this is sometimes classed as a slope at the course. Wide gently sloping course and nowhere really steep. No one normally rides away from here. You can do this as a connecting lane to another slope but even for that there are better alternatives.... read more

Zoals anderen hier snap ik niet echt dat deze soms als helling geklasseerd staat bij de koers. Brede zacht oplopende baan en nergens echt steil. Hier gaat normaal niemand weg rijden. Je kan deze als verbindingsstrook doen naar een andere helling maar zelfs daarvoor zijn er betere alternatieven.

Fast runner that does not get very steep. Goes straight over concrete slabs. Not much to it in itself but you can warm up the legs for other, steeper climbs in the area.

Snelle loper die niet echt steil wordt. Gaat rechtdoor over betonplaten. Op zich niet veel aan maar je kan wel eens de benen opwarmen voor andere, steilere beklimmingen in de buurt.

The Marlboroughstraat is nowadays sometimes included as an official slope in the spring classics, but actually it is not much more than a boring ascending road. It is much nicer to climb up along the parallel Eesstraat. This is quieter, more picturesque and towards the end also a lot steeper!

De Marlboroughstraat wordt tegenwoordig wel eens als officiële helling opgenomen in de voorjaarsklassiekers, maar eigenlijk is het niet veel meer dan een saaie oplopende weg. Veel leuker is het om langs de parallelle Eesstraat omhoog te klimmen. Deze is rustiger, pittoresker en tegen het einde ook een pak steiler!

Quite a long running slope (I wouldn't call it a climb) where you can see far ahead to the top.

Vrij lange lopende helling (een klim zou ik het niet noemen) waar je ver vooruit kan kijken naar de top.
