Feels like a long climb, with the road mainly going straight and sandwiched between houses and a railway embankment. For most of the climb you hardly notice the road climbing, only near the viaduct and in the curves at the end you really see (and feel) the difference in height. Otherwise not really strenuous. The climb continues until after the traffic lights, but that is not much.... read more

Gevoelsmatig een lange klim, waarbij de weg voornamelijk rechtdoor loopt en tussen huizen en een spoorwegtalud geklemd zit. Voor het grootste deel van de klim merk je amper dat de weg stijgt, alleen bij het viaduct en in de bochten op het eind zie (en voel) je echt hoogteverschil. Verder niet echt inspannend. De klim loopt nog iets door tot na de verkeerslichten, maar veel is dat niet.
