The second part of this climb (after the left turn) is part of the Sven Nys Cycling Route. This is the most interesting part. The first part runs parallel to a very busy road and is itself quite busy.

La deuxième partie de cette côte (après son virage à gauche) fait partie de la Sven Nys Cycling Route. C'est, de fait la partie la plus intéressante. La première partie est parallèle à une route à très grande circulation et est elle-même assez fréquentée.

Nasty little thing. The asphalt doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't look steep, and yet you don't go forward one meter. Once you cross the road it gets visibly steeper. And then you feel less guilty than putting it on the little one, lol ;)

Vervelend dingetje. De asfalt loopt voor geen meter. Hij ziet er niet steil uit, en toch ga je geen meter vooruit. Eenmaal je de weg bent overgestoken wordt het ook zichtbaar steiler. En dan voel je je toch minder schuldig dan je hem op de kleine legt, hé ;)

Nice if you're in the neighborhood but the road is largely busy and does not look very nice. It is a calf biter in stairs though.

Leuk als je in de buurt bent maar de weg is grotendeels druk en oogt niet echt mooi. Het is wel een kuitenbijter in trappen.
