Big ride for me. Tour du Mont Aigoual (or an emulation thereof) as per Tim Krabbe's "The Rider". Bit of a dream come true for me. Did not disappoint. Climbs, rolling terrain, descents and beautiful views. A really great day for me.

Great Pics! Hope to get over there for some significant time next year to make up for my lost season this year.

Road to Pla d'Adet (ski station)
The usual average gradient
Chalets with a view
Col du Portet on the other side, unfortunately not completely paved so I did only few kilometers (it would have been difficult descending on gravels with those 10% gradient)

Is what looks like a road, in the lower right portion of the nearby mountain, really a road? If so, what is the gradient? Starting from where it turns left, and then switchbacks its way up the mountain, it looks like a normal mountain road, but that lower right portion looks insane. Or is the apparent steepness just an illusion?Antoine wrote:
