You start with slightly ascending concrete slabs until you hit the cobbles in the picturesque village centre of Rozebeke.

Before you realise it you are off and cycling between the houses until you reach the foot of the real Rekelberg, but here you turn left downhill.

Fearing oncoming traffic, you brake a little in the bend, but actually no one ever passes there. Cursing that you have braked, you suddenly come to a steep stretch with an abominable road surface where you have to bite the bullet and then turn right towards Vissegem.

Here it goes steadily up, just in a bend it goes to 8-9% but if necessary you can stop on the right for a farm ice cream. I myself kept my cool and continued until the end where you can turn left towards Lepelstraat.

Je start met licht oplopende betonplaten tot je in de pittoreske dorpskern van Rozebeke de kasseien op gaat.

Voor je het beseft ben je er vanaf en fiets je tussen de huizen tot aan de voet van de echte Rekelberg komt, maar hier sla je linksaf naar beneden.

Uit schrik voor tegenliggers rem je wat in de bocht, maar eigenlijk passeert daar nooit iemand. Vloekend dat je geremd hebt, kom je plots op een steil stuk met een abominabel wegdek waar je even moet doorbijten en dan rechtsaf slaan richting Vissegem.

Hier gaat het gestaag omhoog, even in een bocht gaat het naar 8-9% maar eventueel kan je dan aan de rechterkant stoppen voor een hoeveijsje. Zelf hield ik het hoofd koel en zette door tot het einde waar je links af kan slaan richting de Lepelstraat.

This is a bit of a strange climb. You can see the top of the ridge from the start but you still put off riding up for as long as possible. You start with a stretch of nasty false flat to cross a meadow. In Rozebeke, you encounter cobblestones briefly but nothing to worry about. Then a bit of false flat uphill and a short descent to finally finally start the climb. Even this stretch never gets really tough and there is some visibility. Good way to discover some alternative roads.

Dit is een beetje een vreemde klim. Je ziet de top van de rug van aan het begin al liggen maar toch stel je zo lang mogelijk uit naar boven te rijden. Je begint met een stuk vervelend vals plat om een weiland over te steken. In Rozebeke kom je heel even kasseitjes tegen maar niks om je zorgen over te maken. Daarna even vals plat omhoog en een korte afdaling om dan toch eindelijk finaal de klim in te zetten. Zelfs dit stuk wordt nooit echt zwaar en er is ook wel een zicht. Goede manier om eens wat alternatieve wegen te ontdekken.
