Description

Return to the Mont d'Or quarry road but with a slightly easier start than the one I took the other day even if there was a bit more gravel. I'm not sure why there is a 200 meter gravel section at the start of the climb? With less autumn leaves on the concrete road the climb was not as smooth. Ride back over to Mont Thou was quite hard and the sun was setting as I reached the summit.

Conditions

Cool, average temperature 12C but otherwise ok, even with shorts.
