Star Wars Pinewood Derby Designs

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!

What Does A Green Braclet

FERRALS-les-Corbières ... 22 AOUT 2010

This Sunday, August 22, it is just 6:45, but it is pressed to do battle with the route proposed by the club FERRALS-les-Corbières, in memory of the late Paul BONNET.

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

It is immediately in the bath with the Coast Pinada (camping), one kilometer brings us to the hamlet of Villerouge-LA-Cremades, which was erected a pyre Cathar ...

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

SAINT-LAURENT-DE-LA-Cabrerisse, a small hill to the War Memorial where it turns left toward Talairan.

Here, the first serious climb, 3 km to the Stone Right.
It turns right, it goes down to 4 km.

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

At crossroads, turn left to SAINT-PIERRE-DES-CHAMPS.
It's nice, we should enjoy today.

The road rises gradually, at barely 100 m over 15 km. After
SAINT-MARTIN-DES-WELL (first stop) and Vignevieille, here we are at the foot of Col de la LOUBIERE (or Louviero).

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

The first three km are easy, about 4% average. A
Lairière, there is still 3.5 km, the slope suddenly changes and goes more than 6% average, with a few EPs in 8, 10 and 12%.

Belle 6 km descent through CAUNETTE SUR LAUQUET, the least populated town in the Aude (5 inhabitants in 2006!) To CLERMONT-SUR-LAUQUET.

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

Here we expect the next climb, the Col de la GAROULLIERE, 4 km to 4%.

Another great raid 5 km, and we can LABASTIDE-EN-VAL, second stop, village sympathetic with several fountains welcoming (it's getting hot at 10.30, see the church clock) and enthusiastic Labastidois .

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

remains thirty miles up a gentle slope arrival.
also touched ARQUETTE-EN-VAL, ARQUETTOIS not in sight, we cross MONTLAUR (beautiful bell!) Congoust and gorges, the river is unfortunately MATTES dry.

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

Camplong, Fabrezan, that's it, full circle.

Refreshments, awards, lottery (t-shirts, pens), speeches by local politicians, everyone is together, everyone shared his impressions, is given an appointment for the next cyclo is friendly and nice. A

Good Mixed Drinks Using Gin

LIMOUX August 7, 2010 ... WALKING TOUR OF THE VINE

must be motivated to participate in the Walk of Vines and Terroirs de Limoux when you live NARBONNE GRUISSAN and more!
Sunrise to 4:15, an hour of highway and road, especially with the difficult prospect of a return in the afternoon.

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

Yet six Hikers are present at the rendezvous, battery-hair at 6:45!
The thermometer showed 18 ° "at home", 12 and even 10 ° "home"!

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

No problem, after only 11 km from the coast THE SNAKE (3 km) is here to warm us. In the end
descent, Antugnac, two supporters morning we warmly encourage is the mother of Nelly!

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

Leger false flat amount for the crossing ESPERAZA, FA and Rouvenac.

This is where things get serious (see profile). Until

Tougnète neck of the slope, 7 km, is an irregular slope, maximum 7%.

Col. of FEST, 3 km east of the same ilk.

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

After 3 km of a false-flat welcome, this is what looks like the collar del Tuquet: 700 m at 10% of average, maximum 12.5%.

Small lull on one or two kilometers, and while it was believed to have done, here we go at it again, and harder still, a good km 7.5% average with a maximum of 12.5% again!

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

A long descent, over 10 km will take us first to the neck of St. Benedict for a good supply, and then CHALABRE SONNAC SUR l'Hers.

We take a right at the crossroads and we move on the coast of the Fleet, I pull out my raincoat (No, it's nice!), 4 km slope.

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

If you followed, you understand that after we went down the coast, crossing Courtauly means "It is better not to have a short bed" of questionable taste ...

If you follow always, you still understand that, after turning right, we would have to climb another hill, not very bad, that of ST PIERRE, just two miles, bof! we're jaded.

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

We cross beautiful vineyards Donazac and we arrive at Pauligne, where two large dogs running after us, Henry, in the circumstances, broke the record in the 200 FRANCE running start and climb slightly if you please!

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

Back to square one where we are greeted with the famous stew which made the reputation of Limoux.

87 km, about 1200 m elevation, great weather, great organization (arrows, ravito ...).

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

We decide to eat on the spot, Nelly and Philip go to their parents Antugnac, and Henri Michel return directly to Narbonne, a long ordeal ahead of them, an accident on the highway have created a huge stopper.

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

We borrow the Minervoise by TREBES, Puichéric HOMPS, Roubia and the Canal du Midi (Villedaigne to avoid traffic lights and murderers), everything goes well.

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

Fortunately, because the next day Sunday we did it again in LEZIGNAN, again very nice hike, bravo to the local club, everything was perfect (97 km, 1300 m elevation, T-shirt offered), I was a little tired to write an article (and especially film), damage would have been earned.
