Descent of Mont Ventoux to Malaucène

Highlight • Trail

Very fast descent in the first part with its long straight lines and its steep slope.

The second part through the forest is more winding while remaining fast if you know how to negotiate the turns well.

Aussichtspunkt am Parkplatz

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the beginning of April the roads are still officially closed. So the cyclists have the mountain to themselves. Great view of the high Alps in eastern France.

While the little machine @themachine (Nobby)☮️🤝 trampled the summit in just over two hours, we treated ourselves to several hours for the ascent 🤣🙈
And in the end, the timing was perfect for the coffee at the end of the tour ☀️

A trip up Mount Ventoux once on vacation is a must 🤩🤷‍♀️

Our friend @Etienne wanted to see how long his sore butt would let him stay on the bike 🤭 He held up until almost halfway, only to give up at an altitude of 1,050 m above sea level 😬
