(Spooky blown) Final Bike tour

My trainingscamp, or rather a mixture of train and work and less vacation, is coming to an end. Today is the last day with little speed work (“fartlek”) and a short 2h bike ride. I had my official “final tour” already yesterday, for which I picked myself another fine “treat”.

From Fayence the already often driven 20km up to Bargemon , from there another 600 high meters and 30km  through beautiful nature, the military district Canjuers (! ).  In there, I was almost 1.5h as good as alone, sometimes a bit spooky (a complete let alone old village, which is obviously used for war practice), only one or the other mountain goat passed my way 🙂

The highest point of the tour was the Col de Valferriere around 1200 meters above sea level. From then on, finally mostly downhill, back to Fayence. Overall fabulously beautiful 84km with an altitude difference of 1400 meters (ideal for the power training on the big ring…) and an accompanying constantly stiff breeze of a Mistral-tail … Not needed…
