View of Mont Ventoux

Northern Route of Mont Ventoux

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A nice quiet road north of Mont Ventoux. This side is often forgotten by cyclists, preferring to ride south of Bedoin, however this side is certainly worth the detour.

9% is still hard. Nice walk...a bit hot..but the fountains are always present in each village.
The climb of Ventoux freed me up!

Today's asphalt lap went from Malaucene via the Gorges du Toulourenc (another highlight that I don't see 🤷‍♀️) to the beautiful Brantes, which is built like a swallow's nest on the mountain.
We went back via Pierrelongue and Mollans-sur-Ouvèze.

A beautiful panoramic tour with almost exclusively asphalt and consistently moderate inclines... however, the Mistral turns every tour into survival training …
