A reasonable but very light runner along a busy connecting road. Because you are between houses you have no view and there is also very little greenery. There are nicer climbs in this area.... read more

A reasonable but very light runner along a busy connecting road. Because you are between houses you have no view and there is also very little greenery. There are nicer climbs in this area.

Een redelijke maar zeer lichte loper langs een drukke verbindingsweg. Omdat je tussen de huizen zit heb je verder geen uitzicht en is er ook zeer weinig groen. Er zijn leukere klimmetjes in deze buurt.
