Really nice road surface only the last part is a little less quality. Quiet climb and some hairpin turns. Beautiful views.... read more

Really nice road surface only the last part is a little less quality. Quiet climb and some hairpin turns. Beautiful views.

Echt mooi wegdek alleen het laatste stukje is wat mindere kwaliteit. Rustig klimmen en nog even stukje haarspeldbochten. Mooie uitzichten.

Nice as a first and/or last day ride. Can also be a fine ride at the end of the day, if you need some more :-)

Not very interesting, you ride through a valley, the surface is ok, not much to see here. There is a decent strava segment 🙂

There is a dam at the end of the ascent, the tarmac is so-so, the views like elsewhere on the island nothing special. Worthwhile as a warm-up.

Na końcu podjazdu jest tama, asfalt taki sobie, widoki takie jak w innych miejscach na wyspie nic specjalnego. Warto potraktować jako rozgrzewkę.

Nice environment, cycling in a canyon with small villages and not a lot of car traffic. It starts very easy, and at the end you can also do some gravel path to get to the top of the dam, with a great view.
