Here, I really don't agree with Climbfinder: "For Côte de Beg Menez from Saint Laurent, no special gears are needed. The slope is neither long enough nor steep enough to require many gear changes. This is another example of the limitations of this site: we need more real testimonials from cyclists. This short climb is very steep. According to Climbfinder the steepest 100m is 15.4％. In reality there are parts much steeper than that. It's a climb I like and do quite regularly: it's very short but you really have to work to get there! The number of cyclists I pass who give up - even on an electric bike - is testament to its difficulty. You need a heart and lungs in good shape - if not, you can get round it via the Chemin de Douric. The problem with this route is the traffic. It's very busy, especially in summer. Some drivers wait patiently, others force their way through. And there's always some joker to shout "Come on! Come on! or honk the horn to encourage you. So avoid the tourist season if possible. Don't think about cycling down this road, though. I think it's very dangerous because of the traffic and the narrowness of the road. If a car suddenly stops just before you, you'll find it hard to stop.

Alors là, je ne suis vraiment pas d'accord avec Climbfinder: "Pour Côte de Beg Menez depuis Saint Laurent, aucun braquet spécial n'est nécessaire. La pente n'est ni assez longue ni assez raide pour nécessiter beaucoup de changements de vitesse." C'est totalement faux! C'est un autre exemple qui montre les limites de ce site: il faut plus de témoignages réels de cyclistes. Cette petite montée est très raide. Selon Climbfinder les 100m les plus raides sont à 15,4％. En réalité il y a des passages bien plus raides que ça. C'est une montée que j'aime bien et que je fais assez régulièrment: c'est très court mais il faut vraiment travailler pour y arriver! Le nombre de cyclistes que je passe qui abandonnent - même en vélo éléctrique - témoigne de sa difficulté. Il faut un coeur et des poumons en forme - sinon c'est possible de contourner par le Chemin de Douric. Le problème de cette route c'est la circulation. C'est très chargé, surtout en été. Certains conducteurs attendent patiemment, d'autres forcent le passage. Et il y a toujours un petit rigolo pour crier "Allez! Allez!" ou pour klaxonner pour vous "encourager". Donc, évitez la saison touristique si possible. Ne pensez pas à descendre cette route en vélo, par contre. C'est à mon sens très dangeux à cause de la circulation et de l'étroitesse de la route. Si une voiture s'arrête soudainement juste avant vous, vous aurez du mal à vous arrêter.
