Almost undoable, the worst cobblestones I have ever experienced. Only done in the 'Uccle classic' which we organized ourselves among friends with the cobblestone hills around Uccle. But 1 time and then never again. (Unless they take my KOM :p )... read more

Very bad pavement, do it once and no more. Watch out for oncoming traffic

Très mauvais pavé, à faire une fois pas plus. Attention aux voitures qui arrivent en sens inverse

Very bad cobbles. Ridden road bike on it today, but could probably be a lot faster with gravel or mtb.

Zeer slechte kasseien. Vandaag met de wegfiets op gereden, maar kan wellicht een pak sneller met gravel of mtb.

A very damaged cobbled section, fortunately the climb is short and gets gentler towards the end. I climbed it once to validate it, but I probably won't be climbing it again for a while.

Secteur pavé très abimé, heureusement que la côte est courte et s'adoucit sur la fin. Je l'ai montée une fois pour la valider, mais je n'y repasserai sans doute pas tout de suite.

this path is absolutely incredible... The cobbles are completely loose with gaping holes... The challenge is to get to the top without ever setting foot on the ground... You might as well say that in wet weather it's impossible, and in autumn with the leaves as well... The route was more accessible ten years ago... Alternatively, you can go via the Hellevelt, just a little higher up.

ce chemin est absolument incroyable.. Les pavés sont complètement déchaussés avec des trous béants... Le défi est d'arriver au sommet sans jamais mettre pied à terre.. Autant dire que par temps humide c'est impossible, et en automne avec les feuille également.. Le chemin était plus abordable il y a une dizaine d'années.. Autrement vous passez par le Hellevelt juste en parallèle un rien plus haut

By far the worst cobbles ever. Can you even call them so? And i've done the all the cobbles of the Paris-Roubaix, but nothing comes close. And doing them on a 10％ grade? You better have the legs to go fast, otherwise those cobbles will swallow your front wheel.

Only done in the 'Uccle classic' which we organized ourselves among friends with the cobblestone hills around Uccle. But 1 time and then never again. (Unless they take my KOM :p )

zo goed als niet bereidbaar, de slechtste kasseien die ik al meegemaakt heb.
louter gedaan in de 'Uccle classic' die we zelf organiseerden onder vrienden met de kasseihellingen om en rond Ukkel. Maar 1 keer en dan nooit meer. (tenzij ze mijn KOM pakken :p )
