For a very long time, the climb here remains at a low percentage. Towards the end, it gets really tough. Incidentally, you ride here unprotected from the bright sun. You hardly encounter any traffic. And the scenery is insanely beautiful.

Heel lang blijft het hier klimmen met een laag percentage. Tegen het einde is het pas écht wat lastiger. Je rijdt hier overigens onbeschut tegen de felle zon. Verkeer kom je nauwelijks tegen. En de omgeving is waanzinnig mooi.

For a long time we can enjoy the sun and the somewhat wild river. Only from the village of Albon-d'Ardeche on, the road gets a lot steeper, between 6 and 8 percent. Nevertheless, the climb is also very steady there. There are also parts where you will ride in the shade, which is nice because it is a lot cooler than down here. At the top you'll find the hamlet of Mezilhac, which is a traffic junction and where you can get some (expensive!) refreshments in the form of croque monsieur and a coke. After that, it's a nice downhill ride in all directions.

Heel lang is het genieten van de zon en de ietwat wilde rivier. Pas vanaf het dorpje Albon-d'Ardeche is het lastig, dan gaat de weg een stuk steiler omhoog, zo tussen de 6 en 8 procent. Desondanks is de klim ook daar erg regelmatig. Hier zijn er ook stukken waar je even in de schaduw zult rijden, wat fijn is want het is hier ook nog eens een stuk koeler dan beneden. Bovenop vind je het gehuchtje Mezilhac, dat een verkeersknooppunt is en waar je enige (dure!) versnaperingen kan inslaan in de vorm van croque monsieur en een cola. Daarna is het naar alle kanten eigenlijk heerlijk afdalen.
