Belgium Cycle Training: Conquer the Iconic Smeysberg Climb and More!

Starting in Nerijse, I head towards Huldenberg to tackle the legendary Smeysberg climb-a must-ride for cycling enthusiasts and a highlight of Belgian cycling. Known for its challenging gradient and scenic beauty, the Smeysberg is the ultimate test of endurance and strength.
From there, I ride towards Overijse, navigating the Heuvelstraat cobbled section and climbing the Shavei, two classic features of Belgium’s cycling culture. These varied terrains make this route perfect for cyclists looking to improve their hill climbing, master cobblestones, or prepare for events like sportives or races.
🚴 Highlights include:
10:35 The Smeysberg climb, one of Belgium’s most iconic ascents.
30:25The Heuvelstraat cobbles, a test of technique and resilience.
31:20 The Shavei climb, a demanding ascent.

@@nicolasemboloni9097 I rode the Mokesstraat cobbles the day before, Nicola. It will be on a future video that I have yet to edit. I swore at the top of that one! Nasty climb with the gearing & the bike that I was riding.
