It starts down Galgenstraat a good 100 metres from cyclewear manufacturer Frans Verbeeck, the fantastic pro rider of the 1970s and still Belgian champion for Eddy Merckx. It first runs moderately uphill and then immediately steeply uphill above the 10％. After almost 200 metres, turn left into a small connecting road and back up steeply. After just under 100 metres you have a hairpin bend to the right and here it weakens seriously to turn left after 60 metres and here it's barely 1 to 2 per cent and you enter Echo Road. A nice short climb and shortcut to get above Wezemaalberg. If you didn't count the start and finish, you have an average of about 10％ gradient over 300 metres.
Het begint beneden in de Galgenstraat op een goede 100 meter van fietskledingfabrikant Frans Verbeeck, de fantastische profrenner uit de jaren 70 en nog Belgisch kampioen voor Eddy Merckx. Het loopt eerst matig opwaarts en dan direct steil omhoog boven de 10％. Na bijna 200 meter links een klein verbindingsweggetje in en terug steil omhoog. Na een kleine 100 meter heb je een haarspeldbocht naar rechts en hier zwakt het serieus af om na 60 meter naar links te draaien en hier is het nog amper 1 á 2 procent en kom je in de Echoweg. Een leuk kort klimmetje en binnenweg om boven de Wezemaalberg te komen. Als je het begin en eindstuk niet zou meerekenen heb je gemiddeld ongeveer 10％ stijgingspercentage over 300 meter.
