I went for a little bike ride to take a break from the drive to the Netherlands from Spain. I had rather haphazardly planned a lap along this winding road that seemed nice. You can actually wake me up for this road every day. You actually drive from viewpoint to viewpoint, the so-called 'balcons'. At each balcon you have a different view into the Gorges.

I went for a little bike ride to take a break from the drive to the Netherlands from Spain. I had rather haphazardly planned a lap along this winding road that seemed nice. You can actually wake me up for this road every day. You actually drive from viewpoint to viewpoint, the so-called 'balcons'. At each balcon you have a different view into the Gorges. The climb is quite easy and has some occasional descents in it. On this Sunday afternoon, I found the road quite quiet, apart from some motorcyclists who were snapping through the hairpin bends. The tarmac is top notch. I save the five stars for the super-iconic Alpine climbs, but this one can have 4.5 stars just fine. Beautifully beautiful climb.

Ik ging een stukje fietsen om de rit naar Nederland vanuit Spanje even te onderbreken. Ik had vrij lukraak een rondje gepland langs deze slingerende weg die wel leuk leek. Voor deze weg mag je me eigenlijk elke dag wel wakker maken. Je rijdt eigenlijk van uitzichtpunt naar uitzichtpunt, de zogenaamde 'balcons'. Op elk balcon heb je weer een ander uitzicht de Gorges in. De klim is vrij makkelijk en heeft af en toe ook wat afdalingen erin. Op deze zondagmiddag vond ik de weg best rustig, afgezien van wat motorrijders die lekker door de haarspeldbochten aan het knallen waren. Het asfalt is top. Ik bewaar de vijf sterren voor de supericonische Alpen klimmen, maar deze kan prima 4,5 ster hebben. Prachtig mooie klim.

A relatively long climb with a very clean surface. This is the gateway to the Gorges de l'Ardèche from the south...

Belle ascension relativement longue avec un revêtement très propre. C’est la porte des gorges de l’Ardèche en arrivant par le sud…

Stunning views of the gorge. Undulating climb, nowhere really difficult
Nice hang in the bends to pick up speed. Cycled in the morning in high season and the road was pretty quiet then.

Verbluffende uitzichten op de kloof. Golvende klim, nergens echt lastig.
Lekker hangen in de haarspeldbochten om vaart te maken. In de ochtend gefietst in het hoogseizoen en de weg was toen vrij rustig.

A climb with fantastic views of the gorges de l' Ardèche. Not super steep and the occasional good recovery stretch but the views certainly make it worthwhile

Een klim met fantastische uitzichten op de gorges de l' Ardèche. Niet supersteil en af en toe een goed recuperatiestuk maar de uitzichten maken het zeker de moeite
