RNA BIKE TOUR ... STEP 1

Thursday, June 17, 8:00 am, it is 9 in front of the Palace of Labour, Jackie, Susan and John will join us later with the van.

.........................

This first step is as the hardest:
122 km, 1950 m altitude, climbing the Col de Ste Colombe, the CABARETOU by RIOLS, around the lake Laouzas ...

...............................

Cool temperatures, 14 °, wind reasonable. First
break RIEUSSEC after 40 km.
A question concerns us:
can we reach the top of CABARETOU before eating or will it stop at RIOLS, before attacking the neck? Without
draw on reserves, one arrives on time at the top of the rise of RIOLS, 10 km with several passes to 10%.

................................

Each brought his sandwich, cubi dew will not stay long in the van, we savor the hardest seems to have been achieved.

The two km to reach the CABARETOU are a breeze, it connects with the neck of the hut, after a short descent, 2 small km.

a coffee table to SALVETAT Forest is not too much to perk us.

...............................

At km 90, it passes into the Tarn.
The dam is not far Laouzas, built in the '60s, fueled by Vèbre, a tributary of the agouti, 300 m long and 50m high.
