Vence part Trois

day3

With my legs getting a little heavier I decided to ride west for a ‘light’ outing. 40km and 1850 feet later I completed a simple out & back. There was more climbing than expected (hard to NOT climb around here) but at least the pitch was quite shallow which made for fun descents and manageable climbs..

Approaching the Medieval town of ‘Tourrettes sur Loup’. Will be checking it out on foot tomorrow.

There are a few of these old rail bridges in the area. Similar to North America they’re converting these lines to rail-trails.

My route took me to the bottom of that gorge, the cliffs were quite impressive! This area is very popular for hand gliding etc…

day3_5

Another beautiful 15 degree C day. It really feels like late September/early October here, with the sun setting quickly but still relatively warm. Some trees are changing color and dropping leaves.
