As described earlier, it is hardly any climbing, rather false flat. You ride on a very wide road with a narrow cycle lane on both sides, but you don't encounter a car. On both sides you come across gates which probably lead to a barracks, but there was not a living soul in sight. The best part is that you are warned several times with big signs, that it is life-threatening terrain, because it is practice shooting range.... read more

Bit alienating route: wide (for defence) but very quiet. Nice blow up. In the group, this invites young stallions to be the first to complete the climb.

Bike lane along a straight road uphill. So you see the climb completely in front of you. Obviously not hard but at high speed (and you soon do) you really start to feel it. Green surroundings, some traffic but the road is wide enough.

My gut and my Hammerhead gave more than the chart on every 100m and percent. That's how this road feels too, nastier than 1％ up. False flat to where you cross the viaduct and a bit steeper there. Never hard, just annoying. Pretty boring road too.

Nice little climb. Also in the descent fun, you drive fast 50 +

The Zeisterspoor is a very quiet wide road, where many bicycles are. The 'tankberg' is actually the viaduct over the A28, but since it is also 'high' you have some extra altimeters here. Not very special.
