Lots of opportunities to ride to Cassel. This one is best for those who want to do climbing training. No cobbles and no super steep sections that allow you to really cadence cycling. The road itself is also super, nice tarmac and a few nice curves to make it interesting. However, many use it as a descent instead of a climb precisely because of the good tarmac and moderate gradient.... read more

Everything has been described perfectly in the three previous comments.
It's soft and pleasant. The little bicycle sculpture is a pleasure. There's a lot of pedalling around Mont Cassel here. A very peaceful alternative to the Petit Chemin de la Gare and the Porte d'Aire, two more exciting routes. But the descent and its bends are a real asset.

Tout a été parfaitement décrit dans les trois précédents commentaires.
c’est doux et agréable. La petite sculpture de vélo fait plaisir. Ici, on pédale beaucoup autour de ce Mont Cassel. Une alternative très apaisée au Petit Chemin de la Gare et de la Porte d’Aire, deux itinéraires plus excités et plus excitants. Mais, la descente et ses virages sont un vrai atout.

As Maikel said, the most beautiful climb in Cassel: it's all switchbacks, good road conditions, not much traffic, no big ％ so good for practising climbing.

Comme l'a dit Maikel, la plus belle des montées de Cassel : ce sont des lacets, bon état de la route, pas beaucoup de trafic, pas de gros ％ donc bien pour s'entraîner à grimper.

Veel mogelijkheden om naar Cassel te rijden. Deze is het best voor degenen die klimtraining willen doen. Geen kasseien en geen super steile stukken waardoor je echt kadans kan fietsen. De weg zelf is ook super, mooi asfalt en een paar leuke bochten om het interessant te maken. Velen gebruiken deze echter als afdaling ipv beklimming juist vanwege het goede asfalt en matige stijgingsgraad.

A very pleasant climb to Cassel! One of the only cobblestone-free climbs to the town for road-loving climbers.
Quite a rolling climb with low gradients and a small section with higher gradients at the end of the climb! A must do!

Montée très sympa pour aller jusque Cassel ! Une des seules montées jusqu’à la ville sans pavés pour les grimpeurs friands de route.
Montée assez roulante avec des pourcentages peu élevées et une petite partie avec des pourcentages plus élevées sur la fin de la bosse ! À faire !
