In the "adorable little climbs" category, this one definitely deserves its five stars. A slightly dirty little road that winds gently through the Beaufort landscapes before rushing into a very pretty wild forest to take us to an old bridge that has given up the ghost. Nice hairpins. Absolute peace and quiet. Just the birds. Atmosphere of an old forgotten road. Gentle gradients. Really, very cute, this little climb that has only one flaw: it's so short.... read more

Gentle gradients. Really, very cute, this little climb that has only one flaw: it's so short.

Dans la catégorie « petites montées adorables », celle ci mériterait, sans conteste, ses cinq étoiles.
Une petite route un peu sale qui serpente délicatement à travers les paysages beaufortains avant de s’engouffrer dans une très jolie forêt sauvage pour nous emmener jusqu’à un vieux pont qui a rendu l’âme.
Jolies épingles. Calme absolu. Juste les oiseaux. Atmosphère de vieille route oubliée.
Pourcentages doux. Vraiment, très mignonne, cette petite montée qui n’a qu’un défaut, celui d’être si courte.
