Nice well-ridden climb; not too steep, little or no traffic and good tarmac. Nice alternation of forest and open plain, which is not so bad at 32°C. In the descent to Lucenay l`Eveque watch out for loose stones in the bends.... read more

Mooie goed rijdende klim; niet te steil, weinig tot geen verkeer en goed asfalt. Leuke afwisseling van bos en open vlakte, wat meevalt bij 32°C. In de afdaling naar Lucenay l`Eveque wel uitkijken voor losse steentjes in de bochten.

The morvan is really a wonderful area for undisturbed climbing and descending.
On a few steeper pieces after this climb is fine. Asphalt reasonable to good and no car or human seen during the entire climb.

De morvan is echt een schitterend gebied om ongestoord te kunnen klimmen en dalen.
Op een paar wat steilere stukken na is deze klim prima te doen. Asfalt redelijk tot goed en geen auto of mens gezien gedurende de gehele klim.
