July 24, 2023,Oulx - I tornanti di Millaures e Croce S.G.

The herdsmen say that the cows, after the winter spent in the stable, are nervous with the desire to go out into the pastures. When I left this morning looking forward to the only chance before the family holidays and.... I started seeing lightning in the distance, and getting rain in my car, I got as nervous as the cows. …

On the descent towards Desert, I preferred to deviate towards Vazon to avoid the main road for the return to Oulx.
The path starts halfway up the hill near Millaures and reaches Lauzet, then you push the bike for about 100 D+ to reach the road that leads to Vazon.
Once you reach the road you made uphill, there are …

Nice tour organized by Anemos Torino. Made with ebike, 504wh battery, 56% residual, I almost always rode in echo, except for a couple of ferocious jerks 😁

Pleasant surprise! The last stretch of dirt road from the barrier to the top of Cotolivier has been repaired and is now easily rideable. The last time I pushed the bike because the deep ruts dug by the rain were impassable on the bike. The remaining stretch of dirt road from Vazon to the barrier has worsened, however.
