This is a beautiful climb, in a beautiful region. This is a variation on the main climb. You start the same way in Beuvron (a lovely village by the way) but it's as if after the first kink you get scared to ride straight up the hill so you turn right first to postpone the pain a bit. Postponement, however, is not a reprieve. You first ride on a very narrow, undulating road that is not in very good shape. Then you turn towards the summit anyway and things get pretty tricky.

This is a beautiful climb, in a beautiful region. This is a variation on the main climb. You start the same way in Beuvron (a lovely village by the way) but it's as if after the first kink you get scared to ride straight up the hill so you turn right first to postpone the pain a bit. Postponement, however, is not a reprieve. You first ride on a very narrow, undulating road that is not in very good shape. Then you turn towards the summit anyway and things get pretty tricky. At the end, you turn onto the main road where it is best to look out anyway. All in all, highly recommended.

Dit is een prachtige klim, in een prachtige streek. Dit is een variant op de hoofdklim. Je start op de zelfde manier in Beuvron (een prachtdorp trouwens) maar het is alsof na het eerste knikje je bang wordt om direct de heuvel op te rijden en je dus eerst nog rechts af slaat om de pijn wat uit te stellen. Uitstel is echter geen afstel. Je rijdt eerst over een heel smal, golvend weggetje dat er niet zo goed bij ligt. Daarna draai je toch richting de top en wordt het knap lastig. Op het einde draai je de hoofdweg op waar je best toch wel even uit kijkt. Al bij al een aanrader.
