Today, Thursday, March 3, the wind has finally calmed down!
No time to lose.
A course is ready, waiting for the whim of the weather.
----------------------------------
Depart LUC-SUR-Orbieu, parking near school (children are on vacation). Cape ON BOUTENAC then Gasparets and three ribs broken-legged (if they are rising quickly) of about 300 m.
A short descent, we arrived in STE-MARIE-OLLIEUX and the D613.
Eight km further, branch Palace, former railway station (the train came up Mouthoumet).
It leaves the road to ST-LAURENT-DE-LA-Cabrerisse, highly popular village and turn right towards Fabrezan.
-----------------------------
At KM 25, we leave the D212 to the D114 to Camplong-D Aude. On leaving the village, a big dog is coming too close to my calves, I descend to biking and hunting.
He fled.
soon as I leave, he rushed back to me, I am obliged to descend to biking, very nervous.
Its owner watched the scene in his car (he would start) and eventually intervene.
eternal problem of unrestrained dogs in the villages ...
---------------------------
I can not wait to see the Gorges Congoust. Here are the photos that I had done in April 2009:

Deception very little water despite the rains of recent weeks, the show is sad ...
------------------------
After MONTLAUR the coast of ALARIC ahead. This side is easy, 2.2 km to 4 or 5%.
On the other hand, descent is much more serious
3.2 km 6 or 7% over the entire length with, culminating in the bend of the horseshoe,
brace yourself, 16%!
This afternoon there, it's nice, but it is better to wear a windbreaker for the descent ...
-------------------------
After Comigne (small glance towards the ruined castle on the left) we join Douzens. The usual route leads to SOFT and FONTCOUVERTE.
We left the D357 up Blomac.
Here, to avoid the D610, very crowded, we must find the street Fallois, right that will lead us to Puichéric a moderately passable road of 3.5 km.
-------------------------
After Roquecourbe (glance to the left towards the castle tower) and Castelnau- D'AUDE, we can CALLS. Coast 1 km outside the village, the new side entrance MONTBRUN before the climb of Portanelle, 1.8 km, easy percentages.
A descent of 2 km brings us to Conilhac-Corbieres. The
Street Laundry, very narrow, leading directly to the traffic lights.
Unfortunately, it is closed, it must pass through the Place de l'Horloge and the Rue des Ecoles.
----------------------------
The D6113 crossing (at green light), Avenue des Vignerons FONTCOUVERTE leads to, after crossing the railway and the crossing of the West, many horses (white) grazing peacefully in the meadows. What? Encore!
The road (D111) which runs FERRALS-les-Corbières is closed, impossible to pass even a bike!
No detour signs, for bowlers we say "street Platanes then Lavoirs street."
And we find ourselves on a path quite smashed on more than one kilometer, before returning to the D111.
------------------------------
is the latest incident, Luke is not very far . A donkey pulling a cart travels through the village.
That means green transportation!
Until we later discovered a pile of dung in the middle of the street ...
