Nice climb, but continue after Saint-Martial direction the Gerbier de Jonc is a must (follow the D237); the road climbs with percentages of 7 to 8 percent with lots of forest and towards the last two kilometres beautiful views. It can still be pretty heavy Deadly sin that this part is not on climbing time.... read more

Nice climb, but continue after Saint-Martial direction the Gerbier de Jonc is a must (follow the D237); the road climbs with percentages of 7 to 8 percent with lots of forest and towards the last two kilometres beautiful views. It can still be pretty heavy Deadly sin that this part is not on climbing time.

Mooie klim, maar doorrijden na Saint-Martial richting de Gerbier de Jonc is een aanrader (volg de D237); de weg klimt door met percentages van 7 à 8 procent met veel bos en richting de laatste twee kilometer prachtige vergezichten. Het kan hier nog behoorlijk zwaar zijn Doodzonde dat dit gedeelte niet op klimtijd staat.
