Sunday 16 June 2024.
In 26 degree heat.
This hellish climb, which is normally a footpath (from the village exit).
The 33 hairpin bends are too many. On the other hand, the descent is a real paradise (on a mountain bike, of course).
Going back to the difficulty, the maximum gradient is 20% ?
Beware this climb can't be done on a road bike!!!! To be done once in your life!
Fait le dimanche 16 juin 2024.
Avec une chaleur de 26 degrés.
Cette montée infernale qui est normalement un sentier pour randonneur (depuis la sortie du village).
Les 33 virage en épingle à cheveux c'est trop. Par contre la descente est un vrai paradis (bien sûr en VTT).
En revenant sur la difficulté le max de pente c'est 20% ?
Attention cette montée n'est pas faisable en vélo de route!!! À faire une fois dans sa vie!
