Muur van Rijksdorp

Sprint climb to bash up with power. A lot shorter than, for example, a cup from Bloemendaal. I wouldn't drive there specifically. But nice to take on the route.

Near Duinrell in Wassenaar, this climb, hidden in a residential area, is glued to the dunes. Don't be surprised, halfway there is another nod and the slope continues happily. The vowels don't make it easier but they do make it more fun. Those clinkers turn this wall into a real wall. What if you can't get enough? You can continue to drive laps here endlessly.
