About This Route

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">After leaving Trèbes, we had great roads with little traffic and nice scenery.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">The climbing was relatively gentle, but the strong winds were too often headwinds and not often tailwinds.<span> </span>What else is new?<span> </span>The wind was also very cold and was blowing the clouds, sometimes a friendly white, sometimes heavy and dark…and sometimes the latter with a bit of rain.<span> </span>Fortunately, we never got soaked.</span>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Along the D12/D920 stretch, we passed through the Col de Serières (685 M) and Col des Usclats (575 M). </span>

Background:<br /><br /><br />My wife and I have been doing self-supported tours in Western Europe (a majority in France) since 1993.  This series of rides covers our 2005 2 month route through parts of France.  Our beginning and ending point is near Chaduri (south of Angoulême) where our friends have a farm with Gites and Chambres d'Hotes.<br /><br /><br />We rode our Dawes touring bicycles purchased in 1993 heavily loaded with 700Cx32 tires.  All of our riding was on paved roads, mostly with very little traffic.<br /><br /><br />If any questions, feel free to email me at jeffkadet@netdiving.com<br /><br /><br />Jeff
