Week of cycling in this region is a real treat I can understand why the tour passed through this region. The tarmac is excellent. there is hardly any traffic. The climb itself is a nice run, only after La Bastide the percentages go up a bit. We had wind force 4, which was spicy in some parts, although sometimes the wind also gave a boost haha.... read more

Weekje fietsen in deze streek is echt een feest Ik snap wel dat de tour door deze regio is gereden. Het asfalt ligt er uitstekend bij. verkeer is er nauwelijks. De beklimming zelf is een lekkere loper, alleen na La Bastide gaan de percentages wat omhoog. We hadden windkracht 4, dat was op sommige stukken wel pittig, al gaf de wind soms ook een zetje in de rug haha.
