Three cols: Col du Verdun, Col de la Crois des Presles, Col du Mont Thou
Not a day I fancied going out much. Decided to revisit the climb of Mont Thou but registered my slowed time of the autumn despite feeling okay. Probably the cold compared to earlier in the year.

Manival MTB
We wanted to push right up the Manival valley to the cabin but due to lack of time stopped about 200 meters short. We returned via the main trail as it was damp.

Col de Mouilles South
DescriptionClimb on the south side from Brignoud. The road is relatively quiet. The first few kms are hard but it flattens out a bit afterwards. There is a cafe at the Col but it is not always open.
