Hidden in the Ardeche on the edge of the central massif is a wonderful climb, its name Beaumont from Rocles. The first 2.5 km remind you of the Angliru. Less steep, of course, but the barely 2-metre-wide road hidden among the greenery and completely hidden under the trees gives you the feeling of climbing on the famous goat path of the mythical Asturias col. The col starts after descending the col du Rocles on the D24. Here you turn left over a narrow bridge with the nameplate Beaumont 8 km. For 2.5 km, this goat path snaked uphill with a good tarmac layer and nowhere do you get below 10%. Strava indicated 11.3% on average. After 2.5 km some downhill, flat and valsplat to flirt with double digits again during the next km. After that, it's light running with some downhill, flat and valsplat and sometimes a bit steeper until Beaumont. It was enjoying this blissful col. For the descent, it is best to ride past the few houses of Beaumont and then turn left or 2.5 k m back and then right. Do not turn left just before Beaumont because for a road bike it is not done. I did but even on my mountain bike it was bumpy and this at 15% and more down with one hairpin after another and full of gravel and stones.

In de Ardeche aan de rand van het centraal massief ligt een wondermooie beklimming verscholen, zijn naam Beaumont vanuit Rocles. De eerste 2,5 km doen je denken aan de Angliru. Natuurlijk minder steil maar de amper 2 meter brede weg verscholen tussen het groen en volledig verstopt onde de bomen geven je het gevoel zich op het befaamde geitenpad van de mythische col uit de Asturias te klimmen. De col begint na de afdaling van de col du Rocles op de D24. Hier rij je linksaf over een smal bruggetje met het naambordje Beaumont 8 km. Gedurende 2,5 km slingerde dit geitenpad met een goede asfaltlaag naar boven en nergens kom je onder de 10%. Strava gaf 11,3% gemiddeld aan. Na 2,5 km even wat afdalen, plat en valsplat om Gedurende de volgende km weer te flirten met de dubbele cijfers. Daarna is hij lichtlopend met wat bergaf, plat en valsplat en soms wat steiler tot in Beaumont. Het was genieten van deze zalige col. Voor de afdaling best de enkele huizen van Beaumont voorbij rijden en dan links of 2,5 k m terug en dan rechtsaf. Niet juist voor Beaumont links naar beneden want voor een wegfiets not done. Ik heb het wel gedaan maar zelfs op mijn mountainbike was het hobbelen en dit tegen 15% en meer naar beneden met de ene haarspeldbocht na de andere en vol grind en stenen.
