On this testing ground for heroes, utterly unforgiving of weakness, you start in Malaucène, and take on the tempestuous Géant de Provence from the Bédoin side.

Ventoux Route Part 2

Ventoux Route Part 3

Part 1 – Starts in Malaucene and takes you from there to Bedoin where you will take on one of the well known mountains in cycling.
Part 2 – Takes you back down the remainder of the Ventoux & up the wonderful Gorges de Nesque to end at the Village of Sault. This is an easy ride that can be done at any pace. The first 10minutes or so will be a nice warm up but the Gorges de Nesque will offer a long very gentle climb.
Part 3 – Takes you from Sault up the less climbed easier side of the Ventoux until about 6km to go where you will be following the same well known road a part 1 through the moonscape to the radio station and back.
