What a great tour! 👍
Standing at the top of the mountain is truly impressive, especially when the weather is as good as it is today 🌞

I admire all the cyclists who ride up here without e-bikes, chapeau! 👍 and there are a lot of them! 🙊

What can I say? Steep up, steep down. It was a tough job, I won't do it a second time. From kilometer 11, the gradient was increased to 11% for the next 4km. Then it didn't get much less, 8% is no longer fun at some point. I was really happy about every gradient at 4 or 5. I actually …

September 11, 2026,De Malaucène au sommet du Mont Ventoux retour par Bedoin

For our last day in Malaucène, the weather being very favorable, we decided to go back up to Ventoux this time via the Malaucène route. This climb alternates very steep sections with gentler sections that allow you to recover.
On the descent, we stopped at Chalet Reynard to eat a little. This stop is an institution for Ventoux climbers. It …

This morning the weather was ideal, no wind announced and a very mild temperature at 7:45 am.
We chose to go up via Bédoin.
The climb is very regular.
The more time passed, the more cyclists there were and at the summit it was crowded.
The descent towards Malaucène requires great caution, especially on a tandem.
We are very happy …

Provence without Mt. Ventoux... somehow doesn't work 🤷‍♀️🤩
Today we're up the north side from Malaucene and back down the south side via Bedoin and the Col de la Madeleine.
The mistral blew heavily and on the descent we felt a little queasy 😵‍💫 we've never descended so slowly 🙈

Finally back in Provence after three years❣️

We used the hottest day of the week for Mt. Ventoux [in hindsight not such a brilliant idea - even up at the summit it was still 25°C 🥵]

From our "base camp" in Malaucène, we climbed an average of 30.5°C via Bedoin on the south side, about 1,800 meters in altitude to …

We've already climbed the Giant of Provence about 15-20 times? 😱 and yet it's always an experience 🤩
It COULD be that we'll come back again 😍🙈🤣
