An early morning ride in the Aude department of south-western France. I managed to bag another nine cols!
I finally got to see les Gorges de la Nesque. It’s been on my list for years. An amazing gorge road that goes on and on and on..
A sixteen mile climb through the forest took me to le Sommet de la Montagne de Lure, to be rewarded with far-reaching views. It’s like a mini Mont Ventoux..
Ride on a rainy day over the Col de Perty and Col Saint-Jean, after which my luck ran out…. !
A ride on a sunny but chilly and very windy day in Provence, over the hills via the Col du Négron and Col de l’Homme Mort
I finally got round to writing up this report for a tough ride I did back in May 2023 during my first visit to the wonderful Chartreuse massif near Grenoble.
Still in the Chartreuse this ride from Entremont-le-vieux to Col du Granier bagged me another 4 cols on the way! Beautiful day. Beautiful scenery.
After the last ride, I revisited that amazing gorge road (la route des Gorges du Guiers Mort) to get photos and find out more..
My first ride in the Chartreuse massif on a beautiful day ended up being a very long slog
Once again, a ride through the Gorges du Cians was scuppered due to roadworks. Still I got to see Beuil and the north section of the gorge I’d not seen before
