Bruine Put Climb

De Bruine Put is a climb in the Belgian town of Dworp in Flemish Brabant, between Dworp and Lot.

The climb is best known for the cycling race the Brabantse Pijl. In this race, the Bruin Put is always climbed via the Lot side on the Lotsesteenweg (=0.95km long, 77m positive gain, 8% average gradient with 24.5% max gradient).
The side that leaves from the center of Dworp is more difficult (=0.64m long, 62m positive gain, 10% average gradient with 22.2% max gradient) ). This side was taken by the riders in the 2004 Tour de France.

The cycle lane is not suited for high speed descends

The "easy" side of the climb, going up the other side always feels harder. Safest side to descend, the cycle lane is good for Belgium standards. Watch out in the last part, a private road on your right gets straight onto the cycle lane, careless hikers and cyclists might just wander up the cycle lane there and the corner is blind they just appear out of nowhere. At the end of the descend the cycle lane curves right and it is uphill again, just be adviced it's a blind corner again and hikers, as well as some cyclist riding on the left, might be on the cycle lane.
