The route from Sospel to the Col de Tende is via the Col de Brouis.
It's a fairly easy ride, never painful. The surface is fine. But when you remember what the Roya valley went through in 2020, you realise that this is still, or once again, a beautiful road.
It's not too busy. But you do come across a few cyclists.
The descent to Breil is easy and pleasant.
This northern slope seems tougher.
Pour se rendre de Sospel vers le col de Tende, on passe par le col de Brouis.
Belle balade plutôt facile, jamais douloureuse. Le revêtement est correct. Mais quand on se souvient de ce que la vallée de la Roya a vécu en 2020, on se dit que c’est encore ou de nouveau une belle route.
Elle n’est pas trop fréquentée. On croise tout de même des cyclistes.
La descente sur Breil est facile et plaisante.
Ce versant nord semble plus costaud.
Not a very complicated climb, to be combined with a long ride for example, it goes well! For the recovery it's not bad too
Montée pas très compliquée, à combiner dans une sortie longue par exemple, elle s'enchaîne bien ! Pour la reprise c'est pas mal aussi
