Yes, that S-curve in Overijse is sloping. And afterwards, it goes even further. Not only on the Brusselsesteenweg towards the top of the Schavei and the finish of the Brabantse Pijl, but also towards Eizer and Duisberg. It's an annoying thing that disturbs your good rhythm and for which you are usually not prepared.... read more

Ja, die S-bocht in Overijse helt. En nadien loopt het nog verder op. Niet alleen op de Brusselsesteenweg richting de top van het Schavei en de finish van de Brabantse Pijl, maar ook richting Eizer en Duisberg. Een ambetant dingetje dat je lekker ritme verstoort en waarop je je meestal niet voorbereid.

After the "S" of Overijse, the road makes a hairpin and the climb starts strong (7 to 8%) on cobblestones: this is the most difficult part. After that, the gradients reduce and there's no real difficulty.

Après le "S" d'Overijse, la route fait une épingle à cheveu et la montée commence fort (7 à 8%) sur des pavés : c'est la partie la plus difficile. Après cela, les pourcentages se réduisent et il n'y a plus vraiment de difficulté.

The s-curves in the centre of Overijse are easy. But then you have to turn right into a cobblestone street and then the steepest part of the climb begins. So shift down in time and hang on. After that it goes up a bit more, but without any peaks.

De s-bochten in het centrum van Overijse lopen nog vlot. Maar dan moet je rechtsaf een kasseistraatje in en dan begint meteen het steilste stukje van de hele klim. Dus op tijd terugschakelen en even doorbijten. Nadien loopt het ook nog verder naar omhoog, maar zonder uitschieters.

This climb was included in the UCI race route for the pro World Cup in 2021. The first part runs on the main road from the crossroads in the centre of Overijse. It has 2 hairpin bends in quick succession. You have to be careful because there are a lot of cars driving up. And in the first hairpin the cars often want to turn left, so there is a kind of traffic jam where you have to pass. And not every driver leaves enough space between him/her and the kerb so that slowing down or even standing still and waiting can be your part.
After the 2nd hairpin you turn right again from the main road into a cobblestone street. Here it goes uphill for a while. Because this U-turn is very sharp, you can't really speed up to start the steepest part of the 8%. And you start almost from standstill. The cobblestones are not very rough and they quickly turn into asphalt. The steepest part is after 200m already. But the whole climb continues for about one kilometre with even a small descent.

Deze beklimming werd in 2021 opgenomen in het UCI parcours voor het WK voor de profs. Het eerste deel loopt over de grote weg vanuit het kruispunt in het centrum van Overijse. Deze heeft 2 haarspeldbochten kort na elkaar. Het is wel oppassen omdat er vaak veel auto's omhoog rijden. En in de eerste haarspeldbocht willen die auto's vaak een straat links afslaan waardoor er een soort file ontstaat waar je langs moet. En niet elke autobestuurder laat voldoende plaats tussen hem/haar en de stoeprand zodat afremmen of zelfs stilstaan en wachten je deel kan zijn.
Na de 2e haarspeldbocht draai je opnieuw in een haarspeld naar rechts van de grote weg af een kasseistraat in. Hier gaat het even pittig omhoog. Omdat die U-bocht erg scherp is kan je niet echt snelheid maken om aan het steilste stuk van 8% te beginnen. En vertrek je quasi vanuit stilstand. De kasseien zijn niet erg ruw en gaan vrij vlug over in asfalt. Het steilste stuk heb je na 200m al achter de rug. Maar de hele klim loopt nog zo'n kilometer door met zelfs een klein stukje afdaling.
