2019-14 St-Jean-du-Gard to Lablachère

In 2019, we did self-supported touring for a little less than 2 months from mid-September through early November.

Day 14 - St-Jean-du-Gard to Lablachère

Today's ride was mostly on roads with moderate traffic.

D907, D129, and D50 getting to Alès were excellent. D904 occasionally had some shoulder, but more would have been better.  Fortunately, on the climb after St-Ambroix, there was excellent shoulder. After the climb at the le Gard/Ardèche border, the shoulder ended. Hopefully Ardèche will someday see the light and add good shoulder. D104A was a beautiful road, but had slightly more traffic on it than we expected for such a relatively remote road. Maybe it was just the time that we were on it.

Overall, not a bad ride, though we would recommend using smaller roads if you have the time.
