This little country road allows you to avoid the main road through the gorges on the way back up. I can't remember the quality of the surface. It's narrow and you have to watch out for the peasants, but you can feel it in your thighs!... read more

This little country road allows you to avoid the main road through the gorges on the way back up. I can't remember the quality of the surface. It's narrow and you have to watch out for the peasants, but you can feel it in your thighs!

Cette petite route champêtre permer d’éviter la grosse route des gorges pour remonter. Je n’ai pas souvenir d’un revêtement de qualité. C’est étroit il faudra faire attention aux paysans, mais elle se sent dans les cuisses !

The shortcut that allows you to join La Balme-de-Rencurel to the D103, Saint-Julien and Saint-Martin en Vercors without having to go through the very busy road of the Bourne gorges. But this is logically paid for by a much more severe slope. The road is quite narrow, generally quiet and overall very pleasant to ride.

Le raccourci qui permet de joindre La Balme-de-Rencurel à la D103, Saint-Julien et Saint-Martin en Vercors sans avoir à passer par la route des gorges de la Bourne, très fréquentée. Mais cela se paie logiquement par une pente bien plus sévère. La route est assez étroite, généralement tranquille et globalement très agréable à parcourir.
