Two alternatives for climbing "La Dent",
One coming from Beauzac and the other from Sommières with a section in common.
The sections they don't share are really fun to climb, with absolutely magnificent views all the way.
The descent to Beauzac is really great, with good tarmac and little traffic, you can really pick up speed and enjoy yourself.
However, we were very disappointed after Grand Champ, where the road was dirty and turned into a track, making it impossible to reach the summit on the bike. Only mountain bikes and gravel bikes will get through the last 500 metres.
Deux alternatives pour monter "La Dent",
Une venant de Beauzac et l'autre de Sommières avec une partie en commun.
Les sections qu'elles ne se partagent pas sont vraiment sympa à monter avec des vues absolument magnifiques tout du long.
La redescente sur Beauzac est vraiment super, l'asphalte correct, peu de circulation, on peu vraiment prendre de la vitesse et s'amuser.
En revanche grosse déception après "Grand Champ", la route est sale et se transforme en chemin ne nous permettant pas d'arriver au sommet sur le vélo. Seuls les vtt et gravel passeront les 500 derniers mètres.
