    No delirious fans on this bit because it's TOO DANGEROUS!!

    No, it is because everyone wants to be where the party is and that's on the main climb.

    Also Nowhere to park / pitch tent n Saurenne.

    It is not a dangerous climb or descent. I've done it both ways last year and the road was terrible compared to today. It is narrow and fast but safe if you treat it with respect. I hit 75kph going doing it - that's slow for me.

    Wrong

    It is a fantastic descent to makes you realise why we spent so long going up the hill.

    ooooh Riblon
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
