Nice runner on fine asphalt road. Most of the climb runs at a gradient of 4 to 5% on which you can pedal nicely....... read more

Lekkere loper over prima te berijden asfaltweg. Overgrote deel van de klim loopt op een stijgingspercentage van 4 à 5% waarop je lekker door kan trappen..

Nice runner, mostly on a bike lane along a wider road and by the houses on the street. Good asphalt. Green surroundings but little view (to the left and to the back, but you don't see much). As a climb it is fun to do.

Lekkere loper, grotendeels over een fietsstrook langs een bredere weg en bij de huizen over de straat. Prima asfalt. Wel een groene omgeving maar weinig uitzicht (naar links en naar achteren, maar echt veel zie je niet). Als klim wel leuk om even te knallen.

A climb of the type "runner". Road surface is fine. For the environment you do not have to do it. Because it goes well right away many cyclists start too "opportunistic" on this climb. In the second half you get the bill. But don't worry, this climb is not difficult at all.

Een klim van het type "loper". Wegdek is prima. Voor de omgeving hoef je het niet te doen. Omdat het gelijk lekker loopt beginnen veel fietsers te "opportunistisch" aan deze klim. Daarvoor krijg je in de tweede helft de rekening gepresenteerd. Maar wees gerust, moeilijk is deze klim geenszins.
