Spicy!
This climb is spicy!
The last three kilometres are really tough. A good climb to test yourself. The gradients are irregular.
The view over Entrevaux at the start of the climb is superb. After that, it's a lot less exciting, but in any case, you're mostly busy pushing hard on the pedals...
Bay is not a very captivating village, but the school house is touching.
A must-do if you fancy a bit of drooling!
Épicée !
Cette ascension est bien épicée !
Les trois derniers kilomètres sont vraiment costauds. Les pourcentages sont irréguliers. Certain passages sont vraiment lourds.
Une vraie bonne ascension pour s’évaluer.
La vue sur Entrevaux au début de la côte est superbe. Ensuite, c’est nettement moins excitant mais de toute façon, on est surtout occupé à appuyer fort sur les pédales…
Bay n’est pas un village très captivant mais la maison école est touchante.
À faire si l’on a envie d’en baver un peu !
Done in the middle of December in the rain... A hell of a ride! I thought the road would never stop rising! I thought the Col du Buis was the ultimate challenge in the area but the climb to Bay has everything to claim that title.
Boileau used to say, "20 times on the job, put your work back on", and I don't despair of ever having enough training to do this climb in peace.
Faite en plein mois de décembre sous la pluie... Un enfer ! J'ai cru que la route ne finirait jamais de s'élever ! Je pensais que le Col du Buis était l'ultime défi dans le coin mais la montée vers Bay a tout pour lui ravir ce titre.
"20 fois sur le métier remettez votre ouvrage", disait Boileau ; je ne désespère pas d'avoir un jour suffisamment d'entraînement pour faire cette montée sereinement.
