It goes both ways Scott. You and Racheal inspired us to visit. 😊

Thank you!

OMGosh it never stops.

Yes so stunning. You are fortunate to be there when it’s quiet and the leaves are not out so you can see out into the expansive vistas.

So beautiful!

Wowzers!

I am trying to figure out if we might be able to fit these rides of yours in our itinerary. Just incredible! Thanks for posting such great photos and explanations of what you are seeing and doing!

Spectacular scenery. Jaw dropping!

The water hotel! The same place we stayed last time. I can’t believe it was just last year we were here (to the day - we moved on on April 28th), it seems so long ago.

Thanks for taking us back there. One of the all-time best places we’ve cycled. Glad it was so great for you too.

Glad to see you are following along. We have enjoyed following your travels and done similar trips. Yes, you are so right the Combe Laval is beyond descriptive words. We appreciate that we were able to experience it on our bikes.

Isn’t it absolutely amazing? I have never been able to adequately explain it to people, even with pictures! I am so enjoying reliving the experience through you. To see it on a bike is just a gift.

My guess, based on the surrounding topography is about 30 m. Pretty cool!

Very safe. We had about a car every 5 minutes (and we were stopped a lot) and about an equal number of bikes. Drivers are very respectful of cyclists … a lot of them probably cycle regularly too. ANd when we are roads like this, it 99% tourist traffic and even the cars are there to take it in. I couldn’t see driving more the 40 km/hr at best if you were in a car, and most are going the same speed or slower even than the roadies. We went slower down through here than we did climbing up to it …. Constantly stopping to pick up our jaws!

… and I think it’s actually understating the actual experience.
