Hills along the Colostre

The ride

Roll out of Valensole and the ride soon leaves the paved behind, with most of the route running unpaved. You pass the river L'Auvestre, then roll by the Château de Campagne, and later the Le Colostre river, before the loop brings you back to where you started. With 913 m of climbing spread across the day, it's a steady rhythm of ups and downs. The 57.1 km route starts and finishes in the same village, so you end right where you began.
