BALAZUC Vogue ... ... ... UZER RUOMS

Depart 13:00 Cycling Thursday, September 23 for seven Hikers who for various reasons, could not accompany the main body of Bagnols-sur-Ceze VOGUE.

During this "walk", we will cross the Ardèche (river, not the county!) Four times.
This tributary of the Rhone, 120 km long, borders our accommodation, the area Capitelle Lou, and is thus for us the "star" of our stay from 23 to 26.

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

The first crossing occurs from the first kilometer, on a bridge we will cross that imposing also return.
From here you can see the railway viaduct spanning the river and ... our holiday! (Vincent would have even seen a train)

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

At km 4, it "forgets" the small road to right, gps reminds us immediately, turn around, it has escaped beautiful. We circumvent
ST MAURICE D'ARDECHE BALAZUC and here we are, at km 11.
On leaving the village, emergency stop on the way down, a spectacle presents itself before our eyes. Again and again
Ardeche we will cross a bridge with three arches, one can see on the left the road cut into the vertical cliff!

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

Four km further, we take the D104 which passes along the river and UZER La Lande, very picturesque road at the foot of steep cliff.

At km 18, the D4 is now following another river, the line, then join us at km 23 again the Ardèche and the famous parades RUOMS.
Several tunnels were dug into the rock.
The road is narrow, a fire control alternating traffic, which does not allow me to take photos of the interior damage.

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

the outskirts of Vallon Pont d'Arc, to the 30th km, two riders from the corner to join us.
Cool! They make the same journey as us and will allow us to bypass the city, bottled at its center.

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

We will now go north and it the forest that will keep us company for many miles.
The show was so compelling from the beginning that we did not care all the bumps we have climbed, however, there has been and remains quite still, see profile.

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

SALLELES THE ST-MAURICE D'IBIE, Tournon, VILLENEUVE-DE-BERG, (that is inhabited by both our riders cool), so many villages and hamlets as we crossed under a shining sun, that we will fail in the following days ... Our two guides

push the kindness to accompany us a little longer, to allow us to avoid few major roads.
Then a festival of local roads and communal my GPS did not know from Adam or Eve, but he recorded with the professionalism that characterizes it for, who knows, next time!

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

After we have bailed out, our two friends, whom we thank warmly, go home, we have about 7 km to perform, ST GERMAIN, but it is known.

Shortly after our arrival, the reception opens at 17h, we can retrieve our keys, we install and then do "the tour of" pending everyone arrives by bike or car.

Cocktails, dinner, sleep and digestive stroll to prepare the next day with the program at Gorges de l'Ardeche Vallon-Pont d'Arc ST-MARTIN-d'Ardèche, return-ORGNAC l'Aven , it!
