Provence

The weather - especially the wind - drove us further south with the mobile home. No sooner have you left the Vercors than you encounter new, wild and romantic landscapes: here in the Parc naturel régional des Baronnies Provençales nature park there are hardly any tourists, but I have many beautiful small… meer lezen

The simplest variant of the Mont Ventoux from Sault. However, this is also called 2/3 of the way uphill, 1/3 down. Most of them drive the same route from Bédoin the other way around, then it is very difficult to go uphill, but then a very long descent through the Gorges de la Nesque.

Great tour, but only with mountain bike tires recommended. The 8km loose ground are very loose, rough rocks and hard to drive.

Nice tour on side roads, through vineyards and beautiful villages

Instead of the passes, one could also list the plantations:

Walnuts, apricots, lavender, olives, wine

Very low-traffic round from Rosans over the above-mentioned five passes to Rémuzat. I was even shocked twice because a car came (a real rarity). In principle, I can confirm what the author "Pusinelli… meer lezen

We are now equipped with a cycling map, because here in the Drôme department a lot of cycling tours are well signposted. There we found Tour 101 is the "Circuit des trois Gorges", but we did a bigger lap and took the most beautiful "Schorsch" with us: The one with the "30 steps": "Gorges de 30 pas… meer lezen

This tour starts unusually on a pass, the Col du Soubeyrand, the descent of which I enjoyed very much. Then it went - with mostly headwind (but I don't want to complain, the days before I always had a strong tailwind at the end) to the Col de Peryguere. On the way up to the Col de Mévouillon, I didn… meer lezen

Farewell round from Provence. The vacation is (almost) over ... 😟

Anyone who is familiar with this area will wonder why I didn't drive the Gorges de la Nesque? This is definitely the better route choice, but I've been there a couple of times (the kids call it "Nesquick-Schorsch"). The alternative via… meer lezen

Ik ben vaak op plaatsen met smalle straatjes geweest, maar vandaag gebeurde er iets bijzonders met mij in La Barroux: ik reed door zo'n smal straatje (zie foto's) toen een kleine agent kwam en het was zo smal en er was geen weg omheen dat ik op een drempel stapte en mijn fiets moest optillen (die er… meer lezen

Met komoot Premium worden niet alleen de fietspaden weergegeven, maar ook hun namen. We volgden het fietspad "Gravel Dentelles" op de eerste klim naar de Dentelles de Montmirail. De mountainbikers keken ons ongelovig aan om te zien of we echt met gravelbikes boven stonden. Ja, met dieptes van 40 was… meer lezen
