Gorges du Nan (revisited)
I revisited the astounding Gorges du Nan, and then went to investigate the site of a major landslide that obliterated the RD1532 road last year.
I climbed two sides of Mont Ventoux in one ride, first tackling the easy Sault ascent, followed by the more demanding one from Malaucene. Weather was perfect, if a little chilly..
This ride to from La Chambre in the Maurienne valley to the famous Col de la Madeleine, turned out to be more of an ordeal than expected when I found the first way up blocked.
An amazing bike ride in the Jura mountains featuring the magnificent Viaduc de Cize Bolozon
A forty-mile bike ride in the Jura, looping from Izernore, via Col du Sentier, Lac Genin and back though Oyonnax.
A bike ride from Briançon to the spectacular Pré de Madame Carle at the end of the Vallée de la Vallouise, returning via Puy-Saint-Vincent.
A short and very steep part gravel ride out of Briançon to visit La Croix de Toulouse, featuring spectacular views over the city and the Guisane valley
A wonderful part-gravel loop from Bourg-Saint-Maurice including Cormet d’Arêches, Col du Pré and Cormet de Roselend, featuring lakes, drone shots and sheep.
I finally got to do this ride to visit the intriguing Buddhist temple of Montchardon, in the Vercors region of France
I revisited the scene of yesterday’s wet descent from Col de l’Échelle to see what it looked like in the sunshine, and I ventured further up the valley to find a virtual paradise on my way to Refuge Laval
