Total frustration! No “Mont Derrière” sign!!! That’s the sign I was looking for! According to the GPS, our Mont Derrière (well, for now, it’s mostly just my own behind) is located on this tree stump (photo). Well… Warning: the last 800 meters are a pretty tough gravel trail. The descent is done trial-style, standing on the bike and on the brakes. The rest of the route is on a good, deserted road with some pretty steep grades. A short stretch through the forest.

Warning: the last 800 meters are a pretty tough gravel trail. The descent is done trial-style, standing on the bike and on the brakes. The rest of the route is on a good, deserted road with some pretty steep grades. A short stretch through the forest. A proper gravel finish. Nothing spectacular to see along the way, but it’s a varied and really fun climb. Mr. Mayor, please put up a “Mont Derrière” sign for us! Thanks.

Frustration intégrale !
Pas de panneau « Mont Derrière » !!!
C’est ce panneau que je chassais !
Selon le gps, notre Mont Derrière (enfin, pour le moment, il s’agit surtout de mon derrière à moi) se situe sur ce tronc d’arbre (photo). Bon…
Attention, les 800 derniers mètres sont un chemin gravel assez difficile. La descente se fait en mode trial, debout sur le vélo et sur les freins. Le reste s’effectue sur une bonne route déserte avec des pourcentages plutôt solides. Un petit passage en forêt. Une fin bien gravel. Rien de transcendant à voir en chemin, mais c’est une ascension variée et bien sympa. Monsieur le Maire, posez-nous un panneau « Mont Derrière » ! Merci.

There are many small hamlets on the Rte linking St Ferréol to Thônes.
Last year Éric and I did most of the route between St Ferréol and Le Marais, including this one, which is only 3.5km long. The profile seems to match the terrain.

IL y a beaucoup de petits Hameaux sur la Rte reliant St Ferréol à Thônes.
L'an dernier on a fait avec Éric une majorité entre St Ferréol et Le Marais dont celui-ci, la Rte praticable en vélo de Rte ne fait que 3,5KM. Le profil semble conforme au terrain.
