The Centre-Val de Loire isn't exactly the most rugged region in France. After the exhilarating climb up the côte d'Amigny, I decided to look for other pleasant climbs in the area. This Chemin du Tertre is a lot less exciting though. The road is good. The gradients are reasonable. The climb is very, very short. To be included in a route around Blois.... read more

I know the area well, I train there a bit before going to the mountains when I'm preparing, it's not worth a 5 km climb, but the climb is steep'I've already done this 6× climb several times in the same day in 2023 and 2024, doing a nice 20km loop so that I could still make an effort over the duration of the loop, passing through Blois, the roundabout towards Saint Sulpice de Pommeray, passing through Saint-Lubin, then the road that takes us to Orchaise, to come back down and land on Molineuf at the foot of the eastern slope, then we do it again, ptdrrrr 😂 after three times already, it calms down nicely.. it's a personal loop that I recommend as well as doing the climb if you want to do a mountain road trip. the circuit that I do is OK'it's not perfection but with the wind from Saint-Lubin to Orchaise sometimes at 30 Km'h or even 60 sometimes bah there's training and after 6 times on a mountain bike it stings well.. you do the loop as many times as you need to there's not much in the Loir-et-Cher but you can prepare by adapting to the terrain.

Je connais bien le coin je m'y entraîne un peu avant pour partir en montagne lors de mes préparations ça vaux pas une côte de 5 KM mais la côte est raide moi j'ai déjà fais plusieurs fois dans la même journée cet côte 6× en 2023 et 2024 en faisant une belle boucle de 20 KM pour avoir quand même un effort sur la durée la boucle en passant par Blois le rond point direction Saint Sulpice de Pommeray en passant par Saint-Lubin puis Route qui nous mène à Orchaise pour redescendre et attérir sur Molineuf au pied de la côte est puis on recommence ptdrrrr 😂 au bout de trois fois déjà ça calme bien.. c'est une boucle perso que je recommande en plus de faire la monté si on veux faire un Road Trip en montagne.. le circuit que je fais est correct c'est pas la perfection mais avec le vent depuis Saint-Lubin jusqu'à Orchaise parfois à 30 Km'h voir même 60 parfois bah y'a de l'entraînement et au bout de 6 fois en VTT ça pique bien.. tu fais la boucle autant de fois que nécessaire y'a pas grand chose dans le Loir-et-Cher mais on peu faire des préparations en s'adaptant au terrain

Le Centre-Val de Loire n’est pas vraiment la région la plus accidentée de France.
Après l’enthousiasmante ascension de la côte d’Amigny, j’ai décidé de chercher d’autres montées plaisantes dans le coin.
Ce chemin du Tertre est tout de même nettement moins excitant.
La route est bonne. Les pourcentages sont sages. La côte est très, trop, courte.
À inclure dans un parcours autour de Blois.
