A straight through. Not insurmountable. Fine road surface. Just chattering upwards.

Een recht stuk door. Niet onoverkomelijk. Prima wegdek. Gewoon naar boven kletsen.

Suddenly off the road into the small street. Narrow street clearly often used by agricultural vehicles. It can be quite dirty here. Short but sweet.

Plots van de weg het kleine straatje inslaan. Smalle straat die duidelijk vaak door landbouwvoertuigen gebruikt wordt. Het kan hier behoorlijk vuil zijn. Kort maar krachtig.

Known to me as the "Cubastraat" in the Sven Nys Cycling Route. That's how I know this slope. Had no idea at all that this one would be called Rutsenberg.
During this ride, this slope comes on hard because it's always at the end of my course. Then I shouldn't go too crazy or I get acidosis.
When this slope comes at the beginning, you can sprint up it in one short run and it seems "peanuts". At the foot you can immediately see the top so you can make a good assessment. Definitely not too tough or steep a slope.

Voor mij gekend als de "Cubastraat" in de Sven Nys Cycling Route. Zo ken ik deze helling. Had helemaal geen idee dat deze Rutsenberg zou heten.
Tijdens deze tocht komt deze helling zwaar aan, omdat het altijd op het einde van mijn parcours zit. Dan moet ik niet te zot doen of krijg ik verzuring.
Als deze helling in het begin komt, kan je er in één korte ruk op sprinten en lijkt het "peanuts". Aan de voet zie je meteen de top liggen waardoor je een goede inschatting kan maken. Zeker geen te zware of steile helling.
