Story by J.P. Schmit from Mersch, Luxembourg, submitted on 14/10/2011

Nasty climb. No serpentines to count for motivation on your way up, just a straight line struggle. The road surface does not help either as for some reason it feels like it generates a high drag.

Story by Hans from Leidschendam, The Netherlands, submitted on 22/10/2008

It is just a short, but very steep trip. On the steepest part I had to wave across the road to regain my breath, despite of my lowest ATB gear (24/27).
