Steep MTB Climb Near Aulne Abbey

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

After a bucolic crossing of the Sambre, there is a very nice mountain bike climb, very steep and rocky at will, in the woods.

Had to shorten and change original route due to parties in a village (sealed off and many km all-round improvisation). But ... it was still a tough ride with very technical black trail sections. Only suitable for very experienced riders. Very steep climbs, sometimes almost impossible. Descents were really sublime, superfast and full of risk!

Superb very demanding course and even more with the mud 😎
