Col de la Crouzette (1245 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Be careful, since yesterday, June 19th, the descent to Rivèrenert has been freshly graveled and dangerous. I had a rear puncture due to small, sharp gravel sticking to the tire when braking. So, don't go crazy on this descent, friends.

La Bastide-de-Sérou Town Center

Highlight • Settlement

Centre of La Bastide de Sérou. A few options for a nice lunch, with a nice one on the main road through the town. Also a junction to Suzan, a nice rural area and some steep climbing.
