I did the Mont Cindre via St Cyr from Vaize, and the climb was gentle in places and steep in others. We're no longer in big Lyon but it's still a fairly busy road surrounded by houses for most of the way. The road is fairly wide, however, and there are lots of bikes.... read more

J’ai fait le mont Cindre par St Cyr à partir de Vaize, la montée est calme par endroit, et raide dans d’autres. Nous ne sommes déjà plus dans le gros Lyon mais cela reste une route assez passante entourée de maison quasiment tout du long. La route est cependant assez large et il y a beaucoup de vélo.

A climb that takes you out of Lyon and into the Monts d'Or. Irregular at the start, it eventually smooths out at the end and leads to a lovely viewpoint. The main interest lies in the training on the one hand and the route to the Monts d'Or on the other.

Ascension qui permet de sortir de Lyon et d’arriver dans les Monts d’Or. Irrégulière au début, pour finalement se lisser sur la fin et amener à un joli point de vu. L’interêt principal réside dans l’entraînement d’une part et le chemin vers les Monts d’Or d’autre part
