Nice, slightly hidden, road on fine tarmac. Gets a bit trickier towards the end. There are some bends here that you cannot see well through, so watch out for descending cars's and cyclists.

Leuk, een beetje verscholen liggend, weggetje op prima asfalt. Wordt naar het einde toe steeds wat lastiger. Er zijn hier wel wat bochten waar je niet goed doorheen kan kijken, dus pas op voor dalende auto's en fietsers.

My suggestion: drive up Heath Street and down New Stone Road that is safer

Mijn suggestie: heidestraat omhoog rijden en nieuwe steenweg naar beneden dat is veiliger

Incredibly dirty in winter due to leaves and mud. Steeper at the end. At the top you come out to the main track.

Ontzettend smerig in de winter door bladeren en modder. Steiler aan het einde. Bovenop kom je uit bij de grote baan.

The percentages increase as the road narrows, especially from the steep ramp that is protected with a prohibition sign (probably to push the wrongly driven cyclists in the right direction).

The well-maintained track turns into a hollow road, so you are definitely sheltered from wind and rain here. In autumn it can be slippery because of fallen leaves and (melting) water.

At the top turn left to make a nice descent towards Winksele.

Ready for another round?

De percentages stijgen naarmate de weg smaller wordt, zeker vanaf de steile oprit die met een verbodsbordje is afgeschermd (waarschijnlijk om de verkeerd gereden wielertoeristen de juiste richting uit te duwen).

De goed onderhouden baan gaat over in een holle weg, dus je zit hier zeker beschut van regen en wind. In het najaar kan het er wel glad bijliggen door afgevallen bladeren en (smelt)water.

Sla bovenaan de top linksaf om een fijne afdaling richting Winksele te maken.

Klaar voor nog een rondje?

Een klein en rustig straatje in het groen. Doet een beetje denken aan de Hagaard in Overijse. De klim begint pas echt na de afsplitsing van de drukke baan, dus je kan best risico's vermijden door hierna pas door te trekken.

Start at the church in Winksele towards Brusselsesteenweg and shortly afterwards turn left onto Heidestraat. The narrow road winds, with some short steeper sections, first between detached houses and then via a hollow road flanked by trees to the highest point.
Attention: After heavy rainfall there may be some slippery mud on the road surface.

Start aan de kerk van Winksele richting Brusselsesteenweg om kort nadien Heidestraat links op te draaien. De smalle weg kronkelt,met enkele korte steilere stukjes, eerst tussen losstaande huizen en nadien via holle weg geflankeerd door bomen naar het hoogste punt.
Opgelet: Na intensieve regenval kan er soms afgegleden modder van de zijflanken op het wegdek liggen.

A nice climb between the houses and under the trees, a good alternative for the longer Nieuwe Steenweg or Paardenveldstraat. The last part is a bit steep.

Gezellige klim tussen de huizen en onder de bomen door, goed alternatief voor de langere Nieuwe Steenweg of Paardenveldstraat. Het laatste deel is even heel steil.
