Great road to try! Few cyclists will pass the sign at the entrance of the Allee without a big smile. Then you ride between the meadows and cornfields towards Vilt. This is the section where VDP closed the gap on Mollema and then Alaphilippe and Fuglsang. Give it all you've got and imagine yourself as Mathieu for a while!... read more

Nice quiet climb with recent cycling history. Traffic-free, but can be muddy due to agricultural traffic. The nameplate is apparently popular, as it has since been replaced by another white one.

Mooie rustige klim met recente wielergeschiedenis. Verkeersluwe, maar kan modderig zijn door landbouwverkeer. Het naambordje is kennelijk populair, want inmiddels vervangen door een ander wit exemplaar.

False flat climb on road closed to motor vehicles between Terblijt and the road from Sibbe and Vilt v.v.. Just because of the cycling history written on this road, you just have to ride it once. The little road has been included in the final loop of the Amstel Gold Race for several years and has become famous for Mathieu v.d. Poel's pursuit of Bauke Mollema, Jakob Fuglsang and Julian Alaphilippe, among others, during the AGR 2019.

Vals plat klim op voor motorvoertuigen afgesloten weg tussen Terblijt en de weg van Sibbe en Vilt v.v.. Alleen al vanwege de wielerhistorie die op dit weggetje is geschreven moet je h'm gewoon een keer rijden. Het weggetje is sinds een aantal jaren opgenomen in de finalelus van de Amstel Gold Race en beroemd geworden vanwege de achtervolging van Mathieu v.d. Poel op o.a. Bauke Mollema, Jakob Fuglsang en Julian Alaphilippe tijdens de AGR 2019.

A very pleasant route, closed to motorised vehicles, very quiet and very pleasant. A must if you're in the area.

Route très sympathique interdite aux véhicules motorisés, très calme et très agréable. A faire si vous êtes dans la région.

Just take it with you when you are in the area. Beautiful road and very recognizable from the images of 2019 when you cycle there. Still a piece of cycling history 👊🏻

Gewoon even meepakken wanneer je in de buurt bent. Mooie weg en erg herkenbaar van de beelden van 2019 wanneer je er fietst. Toch een stukje wielergeschiedenis 👊🏻

You don't have to take it seriously as a climb, because the road goes up very gradually. What you do get is a really beautiful road (that you only share with hikers) that goes through a beautiful area with a few bends. Nice alternative (together with the descent over the Kleine Heideweg) to avoid a large part of the boring provincial road between Berg and Valkenburg. Good tarmac but risk of dirt from agricultural traffic. Oh yes, the name: that's a nice extra, of course.

Als klim hoef je deze niet echt serieus te nemen want de weg gaat wel heel geleidelijk omhoog. Wat je wel krijgt is werkelijk een prachtig weggetje (dat je alleen met wandelaars deelt) dat met enkele bochten door een fraai gebied loopt. Leuk alternatief (samen met de afdaling over de Kleine Heideweg) om een groot deel van de saaie provinciale weg tussen Berg en Valkenburg te omzeilen. Goed asfalt maar wel kans op vuil van landbouwverkeer. O ja de naam: da's natuurlijk een leuk extraatje.

Geweldig weggetje om eens te proberen! Weinig wielrenners zullen zonder grote glimlach het bordje passeren bij het ingaan van de Allee. Vervolgens rijd je tussen de weilanden en korenvelden door richting Vilt. Hét stuk waar VDP het gat op de groep Mollema en vervolgens Alaphilippe en Fuglsang dichtreed. Lekker gas geven en jezelf voor even Mathieu wanen!

Nice quiet little road with a nice view and a special name. The street name was renamed after Mathieu van der Poel's magisterial victory in the 2019 Amstel Gold Race.

A rather unknown route that climbs quietly through the hills. Nice connecting road to avoid the busy road Maastricht-Valkenburg.

Een vrij onbekende route die rustig klimt door de heuveltjes. Fraaie verbindings weg om de drukke weg Maastricht-Valkenburg te vermijden.
