Sometimes it is fun to go full speed up here, the short downhill part gives you some extra speed for the last part. But I usually take this climb via the Veldstraat starting from the Dries in Sombeke.... read more

the first part runs with quite a few bends through a residential area. This is followed by a somewhat nicer uphill road (slightly winding) until the end. Good asphalt.

het eerste deel loopt met flink wat bochten door een woonwijk. Daarna volgt er nog een wat mooier stijgend weggetje (licht slingerend) tot het eind. Goed asfalt.

Only rode up to be able to tick it off and get into the top 10 of the segment on Strava :) Next time I will try the alternative route indicated here.

Enkel omhoog gereden om hem te kunnen afvinken en om in de top 10 van het segment op Strava te komen :) Volgende keer probeer ik de alternatieve route die hier wordt aangegeven.

Like my colleagues below, I think that this climb should actually just be driven via the Veldstraat. Now you drive through a district with quite a lot of bends while this is not really necessary ...

Net als mijn collega's hieronder vind ik dat deze klim eigenlijk gewoon via de Veldstraat zou moeten gereden worden. Nu rij je door een wijk met redelijk wat bochtenwerk terwijl dit eigenlijk niet nodig is...

Wel eens leuk om hier vol naar boven te knallen, je krijgt door het kort stukje bergaf wat extra snelheid om het laatste gedeelte op te knallen. Maar neem deze beklimming toch meestal via de Veldstraat beginnende vanaf de Dries in Sombeke.

Normally you just ride the Veldstraat from the Dries van Sombeke instead of through the Kapelwijk. Coming from the Smoorstraat you get a nice dose of altitude meters. Ideal for a training ride in the Waasland region.

Normaal rijd je gewoon de Veldstraat vanaf de Dries van Sombeke ipv door de Kapelwijk. Komende vanaf de Smoorstraat heb je meteen een mooie dosis hoogtemeters. Ideaal voor een trainingsrit in het Waasland.
