50% Tarmac and 50% Road
This route starts from the large car park in the centre of Valensole and straddles the communes of Valensole and Gréoux les bains.Don't be fooled by the relatively "short distance" of this circuit, it will take you sometimes over stony, sometimes brittle passages, sporting and steep climbs, technical and fast descents.The outward journey via the large Savoye track perched on the plateau, then the dive via the old Saint Martin road, will take you to Gréoux les bains via Château Laval.
Be careful! there will be 50 m of bike carrying, at the exit of Château Laval in the middle of the natural steps cut in the limestone so characteristic of the region.Then a beautiful climb towards La Colle which will take you to the beginning of one of the most beautiful and rolling tracks in the area.
The last section of the large margins towards La Trinité and then the ascent of the Chemin du Riou, will constitute the very sporty "Dessert" of this loop.Strava segments: "Montée de la Savoye" & "La Trinité - climb to chemin du Riou
