Montchardon

I finally got to do this ride to visit the intriguing Buddhist temple of Montchardon, in the Vercors region of France
I rode the ‘other way’ around Combe Laval to see the balcony road from the opposite edge of the cirque
A new ‘gateway’ into the Vercors followed by a steep climb to a secret viewpoint..
Ride in the forest turned out more interesting than expected
Went in search of three maidens
but they were stony-faced
Climb of Route des Ecouges to the scary tunnel and beyond..
No churches, no clocks, no cows.
Sorry
Went in search of two closed tunnels, and found one (open!)
Less of a ride, more an exploration. Finally got to see the scary tunnel..
A ride down the beautiful Vernaison valley on a scorching hot day…
