The only pleasant thing here is the shelter provided by the trees. Otherwise, it is quite crowded here at times and the climb also has some false peaks. Pretty long for around here, though.... read more

The only pleasant thing here is the shelter provided by the trees. Otherwise, it is quite crowded here at times and the climb also has some false peaks. Pretty long for around here, though.

Het enige aangename hier is de beschutting door de bomen. Voor de rest is het hier soms vrij druk en de klim heeft ook een aantal valse toppen. Wel vrij lang voor hier in de omgeving.

Long climb that never really feels difficult. On a large track but with generally little traffic, this is not too bad. Like most climbs in the area constantly through the woods.

Lange klim die nooit echt lastig aanvoelt. Op een grote baan maar met algemeen weinig verkeer valt dit erg mee. Zoals de meeste klimmen in de buurt constant door de bossen.

Zeker geen afrader. Het verkeer viel best mee (slechts enkele auto's gedurende beklimming) en de baan is breed genoeg dat je mekaar niet tot last bent. Klim is inderdaad niet echt zwaar, maar wel goed om een wat langere inspanning te leveren en naar mijn mening een leuker alternatief tegenover langer de Maas volgen indien je zuidwaarts richting de zwaardere beklimmingen rijdt.

Climb that is not really heavy. However, it is not very pleasant either. You drive on a fairly wide track where cars at high speed flaming past. After this one time to have ridden I knew again why I normally go for the smaller tracks in the neighborhood.

Klim die niet echt zwaar is. Gezellig is deze echter ook niet. Je rijdt op een vrij brede baan waar auto's aan hoge snelheid voorbij vlammen. Na deze één keer opgereden te hebben wist ik weer waarom ik normaal voor de kleinere baantjes in de buurt ga.
