Itinerary description
Road climb to Les Richards, short singletrack descent to La Coche. Lots of doubletrack before short but great descent through the woods with some rideable switchbacks. A mix of doubletrack and great singletrack along the river to Les Borels. More doubletrack before reaching lovely singletrack climb to Les Tourengs. Then pick up vtt 38 climb (should be a descent!) which is great singletrack. I stopped at a place with too much exposure for me but clearly OK to continue for most people. Back down same trail then pick up singletrack climb to a Col which is great singletrack but again I stopped at a place with too much exposure for me (chicken!). Back down 38 which has more great sections of singletrack. Across the river on doubletrack to reach the bottom of a challenging climb up vtt 16. First section up to Serre Eyraud all cleanable as on doubletrack. Second part of the climb from Serre Eyraud is challenging singletrack which is cleanable but took me for two stops. It would be a good challenge to clean this climb. Back down 16 and along the river back to Pont du Fossé. Maybe not a route to follow unless you're looking for a climb challenge but a fantastic ride with amazing scenery.
