Als je dan in de buurt bent pak je deze natuurlijk ook mee. Je komt niet helemaal boven en het is een korte klim

Reasonably steep but not too long. You also end up just a little lower than the real summit of VAM Mountain.

Redelijk steil maar niet al te lang. Je komt ook net iets lager uit dan de echte top van de VAM berg.

Short and powerful. Nice to take with you as you spin around VAM Mountain.

Kort en krachtig. Leuk om mee te nemen als je rondjes draait op de VAM-berg.

Nice steep climb but not as much fun as the cobbles and the Dak van Drenthe

Leuke steile beklimming maar niet zo leuk als de kasseien en het Dak van Drenthe

Shortest climb of the col du VAM. Evenly steep, but because it is short, it is over quickly. Part of the beautiful cycling park of Col du VAM and Dak van Drenthe. With smooth asphalt.

Kortste klim van de col du VAM. Gelijkmatig steil, maar doordat het kort is, is het snel voorbij. Onderdeel van het mooie wielerpark van Col du VAM en Dak van Drenthe. Met glad asfalt.

Objectionable to call a climb.
A sturdy viaduct can hurt more.
In itself, well thought out.
And nice view at the top.

Bezwaarlijk een klim te noemen.
Een stevig viaduct kan meer pijn doen.
Op zich wel goed bedacht.
En mooi uitzicht op de top.

This was the last of the 4 I did in my tour. I was a bit apprehensive about this, given the percentages and the acidity of the legs. But it was not that bad. Because it is only 300 metres, all I had to do was give it a good push and I was up. For the enthusiast, there is some serious climbing in this park, percentages comparable to Limburg, but it is 1.8 km in total and that is not much. But if I saw it correctly, expansion is imminent, because another hill is rising next to this one.

Dit was de laatste van de 4 die ik deed in mijn rondje. Had hier toch enige vrees voor gezien de percentages en de zuurder wordende benen. Maar het viel heel erg mee. Omdat ie maar 300 meter is had ik genoeg aan ff goed flink aanzetten en ik was boven. Voor de liefhebber is het toch wel serieus klimmen in dit park, percentages vergelijkbaar met Limburg, maar het is 1,8 km in totaal en dat is niet veel. Maar als ik het goed zag is er uitbreiding op komst,want er herrees nog een heuvel naast deze.
