Itinerary description
The entire route is suited for the racing bike, with the exception of the last few 100 meters of the Jeu de Paume (see waypoint), which was not too bad after all (after the steep climb you are not in the mood to ride fast anyway). Three steep climbs are indicated by waypoints and a description in Dutch can be found on the website www.kuitenbijters.com. The route: Dison/ Mont/ Bilstain/ Dolhain/ Limbourg/ Hevremont/ Goé/ Lac de la Gileppe/ Baraque Michel/ Mont/ Hockai/ Cokaifagne/ Spa/ Tiège/ Polleur/ Transvaal/ Heusy/ Verviers/ Dison.
Waypoints

If you do not like the unpaved stretch of 400 m at the end of the Jeu de Paume climb, you can take this alternative climb (Annette et Lubin) via waypoint 'alternative 1' and 'alternative 2'. The climb is described in Dutch on http://kuitenbijters.com/de-cols-en-de-cotes/42-annette-et-lubin-spa-
Alternative 2

Côte de Mont
This waypoint marks the start of the climb of the Côte de Mont, described in Dutch in more detail on http://kuitenbijters.com/de-cols-en-de-cotes/10-cote-de-mont-dison
Côte de Ville Haute
This waypoint marks the start of the climb of the Côte de Ville Haute, described in Dutch in more detail on http://kuitenbijters.com/de-cols-en-de-cotes/3-cote-de-ville-haute-limbourg. The climb brings you from the Vesdre valley to the medieval village of Limbourg. The steepest part is as you turn left on the cobblestones at the entrance of the village. There was an event going on when I was there, and a couple of pigs were being prepared on big skewers.
Jeu de Paume
This waypoint marks the start of a steep climb out of the center of Spa. If you do not like the unpaved stretch of 400 m at the end of the Jeu de Paume climb, you can take this alternative climb (Annette et Lubin) via waypoint 'alternative 1' and 'alternative 2'. Both the Anette et Lubin and the Jeu de Paume climb are described in Dutch on http://kuitenbijters.com/de-cols-en-de-cotes/42-annette-et-lubin-spa-
