Something special, not easy to ride! With challenging trails and pushing sections, and always great views 🤌👍👍👍

course n°1 red, some parts are technical but it is possible to avoid them as well as to cut the course.

Today we went around the Lac de Salagou in the south of France. Great single trails on the red rock. It's very grippy, almost like the slickrocks in Utah. We had a lot of fun and ended up being really through because of the constant ups and downs. Even if the length and the altitude do not suggest it 👍👍😃😃

A very nice round in terms of scenery and views. Some challenging passages for me, I occasionally had to scramble up and down. I don't have much experience with mtb abroad yet, but the tracks here are a bit more intense than at home on the ridge. But beautiful!!

Tour du Salagou in reverse. This allows you to do the road and wide path portion first. You finish with the nicest portion.
