This col de Chaudbonne from Villeperdrix is absolutely not doable with a road bike. Only a gravel or mountain bike can do this climb. You can climb the Chaudbonne from Sainte-Jalle-Trainte-Pas. Today, I did it on a mountain bike and that was no laughing matter. Constantly loose gravel and stones and regularly sections of 20％ . With my tripple, it was raking, pumping, pulling and pushing to get on top. The attached photos are of the best part. But it is a real killer. Constantly changing g... read more

This col de Chaudbonne from Villeperdrix is absolutely not doable with a road bike. Only a gravel or mountain bike can do this climb. You can climb the Chaudbonne from Sainte-Jalle-Trainte-Pas.
Today, I did it on a mountain bike and that was no laughing matter. Constantly loose gravel and stones and regularly sections of 20％ . With my tripple, it was raking, pumping, pulling and pushing to get on top.
The attached photos are of the best part. But it is a real killer. Constantly changing gears or actually just trying to get to the top with the smallest gear. Only the first 1.5 km is to do the rest is more for Pidcock.
With the mountain bike or gravel bike an absolute must but with the road bike not done.

Deze col de Chaudbonne vanuit Villeperdrix is absoluut niet te doen met een wegfiets. Enkel met een gravelbike of mountainbike jan je deze beklimming doen. Wel kan je de Chaudbonne beklimmen vanuit Sainte-Jalle-Trainte-Pas.
Vandaag heb ik hem met de mountainbike gedaan en dat was zelfs geen lachertje. Constant los grind en stenen en regelmatig stukken van 20％ . Met mijn tripple was het harken , pompen, trekken en duwen om boven te geraken.
De bijgevoegde foto's zijn van het beste deel. Maar het is een echte killer. Constant schakelen of eigenlijk gewoon met het kleinste verzetje naar boven proberen te geraken. Enkel de eerste 1,5 km is te doen de rest is meer voor Pidcock.
Met de mountainbike of gravelbike een absolute aanrader maar met de wegfiets not done.
