Woohoo, my first journey not ranging from house in 6 months. I used to be motivated as yesterday was my first journey of 2021 in shorts, and tonight France is sort of definitely going to announce stricter lockdown circumstances. 🙁
A part of my 2021 Biking Problem was to climb 100 cols, so I wanted to get transferring as I’ve been biking the 5 cols close to me time and again. 🙂
The loop climbs Col de Richemond (1060m) then visits a number of close by Cols atop the Plateau de Retord, lastly descending again to the beginning through Col de Cuvery (1178m). See backside map with all of the cols labeled. Notice, whereas I might go to 6 Cols, I didn’t actually climb 6 cols. Particularly, Col de Bérentin and Col de Cuvery are higher climbs from their different aspect – see right here and right here.
Col de Richemond and Col de Cuvery are in the identical massif, simply north of, the higher identified and more durable Grand Colombier and Col de la Biche – particulars.
Nevertheless it’s a really good loop. Nothing spectacular, however scenic and quiet:
