Short but surprisingly solid cobbled climb that immediately wakes up the legs. The run-up makes it already look impressive, and once on it, it keeps working constantly until the top, with another vicious stretch at the end. The good road surface and the choice between cobblestones or bike path also make it extra fun to ride several times.... read more

Korte maar verrassend stevige kasseiklim die meteen de benen wakker schudt. De aanloop laat hem al indrukwekkend lijken, en eenmaal erop blijft het constant werken tot boven, met op het einde nog een venijnig stuk. Het goede wegdek en de keuze tussen kasseien of fietspad maken hem bovendien extra leuk om meerdere keren te rijden.

This is a nice climb - especially the view is impressive, as you cycle down a bit before you start: then you can see it and it seems very steep and far. Once you're on it, it's not too bad, the last part is the steepest part you have to conquer (luckily the works have been done and you can cycle all the way up). As a true flander: opt for the cycle path!

Dit is een leuke beklimming - vooral de aanblik is impressionant, gezien je een klein beetje naar beneden fietst voor je eraan begint: dan zie je hem liggen en lijkt hij enorm steil en ver. Eenmaal bezig valt het al bij al wel mee, laatste stuk is het steilste stuk dat je moet overwinnen (gelukkig zijn de werken ondertussen gedaan en kan je gans tot boven fietsen). Als echte flandrien: kies voor het fietspad!

You can already see it from afar. Seems steeper from afar than it actually is. You can perfectly choose to brave the cobbles or play it safe and take the cycle path.

Al van in de verte zie je hem liggen. Lijkt van ver steiler dan hij effectief is. Je kan perfect kiezen om de kasseien te trotseren of op veilig te spelen en het fietspad te nemen.

They say real Flandriens ride over cobblestones. Not on this road. When I rode there, it was quite busy so the cycle path was the only option. Only the last 100m I saw the possibility to taste the cobblestones.

echte flandriens rijden over kasseien zeggen ze. Niet op deze weg. Toen ik er reed was het flink druk waardoor het fietspad de enige optie was. Alleen de laatste 100m zag ik de mogelijkheid om de kasseien te proeven.

If the morale is already low, not ideal. You see it immediately completely lie incl steep piece at the end add wind and it is raking.

Als de moraal al laag staat, niet ideaal. Je ziet m onmiddellijk volledig liggen incl steil stuk op het einde doe daar nog wind tegen bij en het wordt harken.

After a descent you can already see it in the distance. The first part starts quietly and steadily the climbing percentage goes up. You can see the steepest part in front of you now. Hopefully you haven't given it your all because the last part of the cobbles is the worst.

Na een afdaling kan je hem al zien liggen in de verte. Het eerste stuk begint rustig en gestaag gaat het klimpercentage omhoog. Je kan het steilste stuk voor jou zien liggen nu. Hopelijk heb je nog niet alles gegeven want het laatste stuk kasseien is het ergst.

Nice, short climb. The cobblestones are in perfect condition, but if you want to avoid them, you can also ride on the bike path next to the road.

Toffe, korte klim. De kasseien liggen er perfect bij, maar wie ze toch wil mijden kan ook op het fietspad naast de weg rijden.

Nice paved climb on the road and unpaved bike path to choose from.
Straight climb that gets harder as you go along

Belle ascension pavée sur la route et piste cyclable non pavée au choix.
Montée rectiligne qui se durcit au fur et à mesure

Nice to do, toughest part towards the end... Nice side effect of the speed bumps: easier to change gears!

Tof om te doen, zwaarste stuk naar het einde toe... Leuk neveneffect van de vluchtheuvels: makkelijker om te schakelen!
