The Néronne and the first parts in the forest towards the Puy Mary are only warm-ups for the steep last 2 kilometers of the climb. After a faint turn, it's as if you suddenly encounter the Redoute. The surroundings and the view on the summit are splendid.... read more

I descended from the summit, which was in the mist, to Falgoux. From the junction with the road to Salers, the road became a lot worse, with gravel on the road. In Falgoux, I chose the road to the Neronne for the climb. From there, it is first flat and a bit of a descent. The first few kilometres of climbing are very nice, not too steep and with a good rhythm. Just before the 2 km to go sign, a wall suddenly appears in front of you. From there, finding a rhythm is increasingly difficult. Every time I looked at my bike computer, I saw 12 or more. Fortunately, I knew exactly when I reached the bend that it was another 600 metres to my car and just a few hundred metres more to the top, so that was a good target. The last few metres along the parked cars and the walkers walking to the top feel like an eternity. At the top, I was lucky, exactly a moment that the clouds opened up and I could make some nice photos.

Done several years ago.
Excellent memory... rolling pass at the start and 2 or 3 very steep last km.
I remember the last right turn and then an endless ramp at over 10％ before the finish... splendid view and fountain at the top!
I had found it very hard but at the time, done with an old aluminium frame from early 2000 with 39x25!!! If I did it again with my current bike, would probably be much more enjoyable
