Being in Noord Holland, everything with any sort of incline is going to be classed as hilly. I'm wondering tho if anyone can help put some perspective into the terrain of PBP.
When people say hilly, are we talking short, sharp punchy hills (ala Limberg 5-20% over 1km), long rolling undulations (1km up at 3%, 1km down at 3%),
What's the typical max gradient, largest ascent etc..? Either way, I'm guessing I'm going to be spending a fair bit of time training in the Ardennes...

PS Makes me wonder about a reliable metric for quantifying the hillyness of a route...
