The road surface is usually excellent. But sadly. Is the worst bit of road surface on the steepest part. The road surface is one of those's cobblestone lanes that were once perfect, but then got asphalted and where now the asphalt is gone so you still have nice convex cobblestones. You would say the surroundings are nice, remove that asphalt again and make it 'Berg Ten Houte' gewijs back into a cobbled road. Heritage, you know. But then you can't, because at the end of the lane you have one option. Turn left, towards the cycle path, on the busy lane, you are not allowed as cyclists. Rightly so. A little earlier, you can turn onto an asphalt forest path. Which, although quite narrow, is definitely doable with your race bike. So a dead-end-climb it is not.
Dit is een leuke ontdekking.
Het wegdek is doorgaans uitstekend. Maar spijtig genoeg. Zit het slechtste stukje wegdek op het steilste gedeelte. Het wegdek is zo'n kasseibaantje dat ooit perfect lag, maar dan geasfalteerd werd en waar nu de asfalt weg is en je dus nog mooie bolle kasseien hebt. Je zou zeggen de omgeving is wel fijn, haal die asfalt terug weg en maak er 'Berg Ten Houte' gewijs terug een kasseibaantje van. Erfgoed, weet je wel. Maar dan kan niet, want op het einde van de baan heb je één optie. Linksaf, richting fietspad, op de drukke baan, mag je niet als fietsers. Terecht. Iets vroeger kan je afslaan naar een geasfalteerd bospad. Dat weliswaar vrij smal is, maar met je racebike zeker te doen. Een dead-end-climb is het dus niet.
This climb is fun to do, very quiet and very pretty. You cross the stream and the road starts to rise but then you turn left and the road rears up like a wall. The road surface is part tarmac, part cobbles and because of that, as well as the changes in gradient, it can be deceptively difficult to find a steady rhythm. Just get out of the saddle and power to the top.
