Finally managed to find myself in a position to ride the Oude Kwaremont, the Paterberg and the Koppenberg. I found the first two pretty manageable but the Koppenberg was fairly unpleasant. God knows what it must be like in the wet, in a peloton
Fearsome trio of climbs that! Kwaremont is looooong, hard to keep a good speed on the cobbles, on the mean slight incline (along where the vip-tents are during the Ronde) nearing the mainroad.
