LUSETTE, The AIGOUAL ... AND PICNIC

Saturday, June 5, the day of the Lusette and picnic at Mount Aigoual ( or not far).
Big day ahead!

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

Three groups were formed.
The first runs through the gorge Aigoual of Dourbies (The Laupiettes) and return by St Saviour, about 90 km.
The second group, delayed in Vigan veiled by a wheel (requiring passage in a bike shop) Lusette stands by the collar of Mourèze, about 118 km. The third group
fetches the foot of the Lusette 5 km after Le Vigan, in Rey, 121 km.

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

Everyone is warned: Mont Aigoual is easy, 6 km to 4%.
For cons, the Lusette, 17 km to 7% (with some nice ramps), is reserved for climbers, beefy or courageous lack of training. With my template

lightweight, I take my place in the 1st category.
No problem for sturdy, they go everywhere.
Others (thinking maybe I was exaggerating the difficulty, especially knowing that Carmen did in 2008) have suffered greatly, but through their courage, have risen to the top, probably cursing me for having dragged into this mess.

This pass will, anyway, in briefs, as well as the Tourmalet, Ventoux, ...

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

The reward was a few miles further down the Espérou (where we find other groups and walkers) as an improved picnic, prepared with great professionalism by Yvan and its employees.

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

We did not leave without climbing Mount Aigoual!
a formality after the efforts made earlier ...

Back then through the gorges of the Dourbies, The Laupies and Laupiettes, low speed fault dotting the gravel road, which allowed us to enjoy the wonderful intricacies of this wonderful river.

Over 250 km in two days for some, we'll have it back!
