Rijsberg from Beek

At just 1.7km, Rijsberg from Beek is short but deceptively intense — 39m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 2.3% disguises ramps of 4.8% — 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 Gelderland, Netherlands.
