That looks like the road that goes up to de kapelmuur, right?
This is not yet the real nasty stuff tough, that lies just around the corner to the left

It is indeed. I've never been there, I just posted the nicest pic I could find. Have you been up it? 80 meters doesn't sound too bad. But 20%, on cobblestones..

To fairymuff: yes I've been up it once in a 30/23 gear going at a nice pace ... and it was incredibly hard ... I admit I had to lay down for 10 minutes in the shade of the Chapel on the top
To exocet98: you are still calling people names and you are still not contributing anything of value to the topic ... I'll assume that "98" is the year you were born then.

My normal weight is 142 pounds... two years of throwing steel around brought my weight up to 158 and those gains were pretty well distributed although I probably gained more in my legs.
