I should have done the tour in the reverse direction but following my GPS I had trouble finding my way in the mean streets of West Lyon. In the end the climb to the col de Malval from Vaugneray was not bad but would have been better descending as the descent from the Col de la Luere had graval and the Col de la Croix de Bans was wet. Not a bad tour for around 1000 meters of climbing and pleasantly warm in a T-shirt. Lots of traffic in the west Lyon suburbs, which is less pleasant.
Very wet on the roads outside of Lyon. Massive floods the day before in some area as half a meter of rain fell on the hills.
