I use it more as a descent during my training trips than as a climb. In itself it is a nice thing to do, you ride between 2 rows of trees on both sides and you either do a nice fast descent or a nice climb up. The Vrijbosstraat is a dead straight street that starts out flat, but it gets steeper towards the end. So it starts first false flat until it becomes 5/6 percent over about 150 meters. It looks a bit like a ramp. Then there is a turn to the left where you can take the Klerkenstraat for a f... read more

I use it more as a descent during my training trips than as a climb. In itself it is a nice thing to do, you ride between 2 rows of trees on both sides and you either do a nice fast descent or a nice climb up. The Vrijbosstraat is a dead straight street that starts out flat, but it gets steeper towards the end. So it starts first false flat until it becomes 5/6 percent over about 150 meters. It looks a bit like a ramp. Then there is a turn to the left where you can take the Klerkenstraat for a few altitude meters until you are really at the top. There's hardly any traffic here. Just be careful when you turn on the crossroad where 4 climbs meet. You can certainly try it.

Ik gebruik deze meer als afdaling tijdens m'n trainingstochten dan als klim. Op zich wel mooi om te doen, je rijdt tussen 2 rijen bomen aan beide kanten en je doet ofwel een mooie snelle afdaling of een leuke klim naar boven. De Vrijbosstraat is een kaarsrechte straat die eerst vlak begint, maar naar het einde toe begint het steiler te worden. Het begint dus eerst vals plat totdat het over zo'n 150 meter 5/6 procent wordt. Het lijkt dus een beetje op een schans. Daarna is er nog een bocht naar links waar je in de Klerkenstraat nog een paar hoogtemeters kan pakken tot je echt op de top bent. Verkeer heb je hier wel nauwelijks. Alleen misschien oppassen bij het opdraaien op het kruispunt waar er 4 beklimmingen samenkomen. Je kan hem zeker eens proberen.
