Have my doubts about t graph in the above as I think those last bits are much tougher. Until before the hairpins, we are actually talking about a pleasant climb with a nice challenge. After that it is raking. Road surface is not equally good everywhere, but it has to be said that you won't meet anyone except on the through road. Truly an obligatory climb to do!

Heb mijn twijfels bij t grafiekje in bovenstaande want volgens mij zijn die laatste stukken veel zwaarder. Tot voor de hairpins hebben we het eigenlijk over een aangename klim met een mooie uitdaging. Daarna is het harken. Wegdek is niet overal even best, maar daar moet bij gezegd worden dat je behalve op de doorgaande weg geen mens tegenkomt. Echt een verplichte klim om te doen!
