Gorges du Verdon-1 Avril

When the day includes three (or four) climbs of a couple (or few) thousand feet you end up being more than a little wiped  out at the end of the day. But when the first third of the ride involves sweeping Grand Canyon like views, but your in southeast France, you're pleasantly distracted by oohs, ahhs, ooh-la-las and wows of scenery. Yes, the end of the day was hard, but what a journey getting there.

Above Aguines. 

We're on the southern route--that's the northern route on the far side. 

And more northern route. 

Higher still. 



Going down for the first time 



Navigating the canyon is easier if you have wings. 

Lunch stop, Comps-sur-Artuby, behind ud Only 30km to go (and one more climb).
