Bergenstraat from Herent

At just 0.9km, Bergenstraat from Herent is short but deceptively intense — 38m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.3% disguises ramps of 8.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Flanders, Belgium.
