A rainy day! Only one possible climb. It's short, but rather pretty. Then there's the mist over the mountains, which reconciles us with the fickle elements. The road is in very poor condition. Nobody drives here. The climb is steady. The view, the cows, the sheep, a friendly patou... You can still feel that you're not far from civilisation, as you can hear the cars.... read more

Not a great road for road bikes. Good warm-up for a first pass

Route pas extra pour le vélo de route . Pour un premier col bon échauffement

Journée de pluie ! Une seule côte possible. Elle est courte mais plutôt mignonne. Et puis la brume sur les montagnes, ça réconcilie avec les éléments capricieux. La route est dans un état très moyen. Personne ne roule par ici. La montée est régulière. La vue, les vaches, les moutons, un gentil patou… Reste que l’on sent que l’on n’est pas bien loin de la dite civilisation puisque l’on entend les voitures.
