Today I did the last part of this col, the part from Bouvieres to the top which is the most difficult part.
The first part I did last year and that is a nice wide road until Bouvieres. In Bouvieres you turn left for the last 4 km which is quite nice with some curves. The hardest part is at 1 km from the top where you have 2 hairpin turns. Once at the top it is breathtakingly beautiful. The road is nice and good and wide but it certainly doesn't give the feeling of a highway to the top. Once past the top and a short descent, you can take the D173 to col de Pre Guittard which is a hidden gem of over 5 km at I think 7％.
I just submitted it as a new climb. Definitely fun if you are in the area, just for the beautiful scenery and the quiet cycling here.
Vandaag het laatste deel van deze col gedaan , het deel vanaf Bouvieres tot de top wat het zwaarste deel is.
Het eerste deel had ik vorig jaar gedaan en dat is een mooie brede weg tot in Bouvieres. In Bouvieres draai je links op voor de laatste 4 km die best mooi oploopt met wat bochten in. Het zwaarste stukje is op 1 km van de top waar je 2 haarspeldbochten hebt. Eens boven is het adembenemend mooi. De weg is mooi en goed en breed maar het geeft zeker niet het gevoel van een snelweg naar boven. Eens voorbij de top en een korte afdaling kan je de D173 naar col de Pre Guittard nemen wat een verborgen juweeltje is van ruim 5 km aan volgens mij 7％.
Ik heb hem juist ingediend als nieuwe beklimming. Zeket leuk als je in de buurt bent en dit alleen al voor de mooue omgeving en het is hier zo rustig fietsen.
