A rather irregular climb through what could pass as agricultural territory with a rough touch. It all starts on the D900. Once the lake of Serr-Ponçon is behind you, you turn left on the D951 in the territory of Théus. The road, otherwise in good condition goes almost immediately from false flat to slightly ascending without getting really steep . Once out of Bréziers you descend for a while and then, except for a few short and tough stretches, climb at a gentle pace. It's not a tiring climb at all which, as you go higher, gets a "wilder" view. I rode up it at a sauntering pace because.... an enigmatic scenery. Be careful on the descent to Selonnet. Which is, in a word, downright "dangerous" because of the state of the road surface. This is a big patchwork. It took me almost 15 minutes to descend 6 kilometres, with brakes half-tightened. It was really one crack against the next hole. I think even doing the climb along this side can be no fun. So looking out is the message.
Een nogal onregelmatige klim door wat kan doorgaan als agrarisch gebied met een ruige toets. Het begint allemaal op de D900. Eenmaal het meer van Serr-Ponçon achter je, ga je op het grondgebied Théus links op over de D951. De weg, overigens in goede staat gaat vrijwel meteen van vals plat over in licht stijgend zonder echt steil te worden . Eenmaal Bréziers uit ga je nog even dalen om dan weer, op enkele korte en pittige stukken na, gezapig te klimmen. Het is helemaal geen vermoeiende klim die, naarmate je hoger gaat een "woester" uitzicht krijgt. Ik reed er aan een slentertempo op want.... een enig mooie omgeving. Oppassen in de afdaling naar Selonnet. Die is in een woord ronduit "gevaarlijk" omwille van de staat van het wegdek. Dit is een grote lappendeken. Ik had bijna een kwartier nodig om, met half dichtgeknepen remmen 6 kilometer te dalen. Het was echt de ene scheur tegen het volgende gat. Ik denk dat zelfs de klim doen langs deze kant geen plezier kan zijn. Uitkijken is dus de boodschap.
