A small protrusion in the Mercantour Park. You have to climb up to the prohibition sign.
It's a lovely walk on a very quiet road. Here again, the scars of storm Alex can be felt.
The higher you go, the tougher it gets. Some sections are really heavy and difficult.
The gradients are serious, but they never last very long. This climb doesn't really know what it wants: it climbs very steeply, then becomes reasonable again, then flares up again.
The road is good but there is still a lot of gravel.
On the way down, a huge deer crossed in front of me less than 10 metres away!
It skidded across the road to avoid me! I skidded off the road to return the courtesy! We didn't even say hello!
Everything went extremely fast.
Amazing! What a bug!
Sorry, he didn't want to be photographed.
Une petite saillie dans le parc du Mercantour. Il faut grimper jusqu’au panneau d’interdiction.
C’est une jolie balade sur une route très calme. Là encore, les stigmates de la tempête Alex se mesurent.
Plus ça monte, plus c’est costaud. Certains passages sont réellement lourds et difficiles.
Les pourcentages sont bien sérieux mais ça ne dure jamais très longtemps. Cette côte ne sait pas trop ce qu’elle veut : elle grimpe très sèchement puis redevient raisonnable puis s’enflamme à nouveau.
La route est bonne mais il y a tout de même beaucoup de gravillons.
En redescendant, un énorme cerf a traversé devant moi à moins de 10 mètres !
Il a dérapé sur la route pour m’éviter ! J’ai dérapé sur la route pour lui rendre la politesse ! Nous ne nous sommes pas salués !
Tout est allé extrêmement vite.
Impressionnant ! Sacrée bestiole !
Désolé, il n’a pas souhaité être photographié.
