Actually, only the first part is a climb, the second part leading through an industrial area should not really have that name. The earlier part is pretty rural though and secretly quite tough. Zeke a little diversions aaard. ... read more

Actually, only the first part is a climb, the second part leading through an industrial area should not really have that name. The earlier part is pretty rural though and secretly quite tough. Zeke a little diversions aaard.

Eigenlijk is alleen het eerste deel een klim, het tweede deel dat door een industrieterrein voert mag die naam eigenlijk niet echt hebben. Het eerder deel is wel mooi landelijk en stiekem best pittig. Zeke een kleine omweg aaard.

This climb starts with a really nice little road up through the greenery. The first part of the climb is two steeper sections one after the other which makes it just a bit spicier. After turning right, there is a descent and then another climb (nice view to the right) where the cycle path turns (note: obstacle) into a boring tarmac road in a business park.

Deze klim begint met een echt heel leuk weggetje door het groen omhoog. Het eerste deel van de klim zijn twee steilere stukjes achter elkaar wat het net nog wat pittiger maakt. Na rechtsaf te zijn geslagen volgt een afdaling en daarna nog een klim (mooi uitzicht naar rechts) waarbij het fietspad overgaat (let op: obstakel) in een saaie asfaltweg op een bedrijventerrein.
