Well done doing there and back over the Restefonf/Bonette in one ride, I'm impressed. Like you say, the St Etienne side is impressive, and I imagine almost as challenging going up too.briantrumpet said:
Yes. The col is 2715m the road around the Cime 2802m, and the peak of the Cime 2680m.morstar said:
But does that include the random loop they added to the road just to make it higher though?briantrumpet said:pinno said:
'Bonnette' but yes and you're close with the height.: 2860M.morstar said:32. Was it something like col de la mont Bonnet?
Don’t know the height exactly and refusing to google so my guess is 2,890m
Polka dot took a flyer off a bend on the descent.
Cime de la Bonette. Actually the road is 2802m. I've got the photo to prove it.
I remember the climb as it was quite stunning and the descent was interesting.
You missed a trick if you didn't do the descent/climb the other side too. Nearly everyone does just the one side, but the other side is fantastic too.

A few years ago, I did Barcelonette to St. Etienne as part of a sort-of '1-2 passes- a-day' week-long trip. On the way up, I knew I would make it fine to the top when I passed the sign saying I was now at 2000 m and still feeling comfortable; it is the only place along a road that I can remember where a sign tells me what round number elevation I have just reached.0 -
We made the ride slightly longer than necessary by starting from Barcelonette. The most silly profile for the best part of 11k ft of ascent. And you'll notice I didn't do the Cime on the return leg, as it's a punishing 10/11% just to go round the loop.jimmyjams said:

If you start another bloody thread, it's own your own volition, don't bloody well blame me.briantrumpet said:

I start new threads 'cos I feel I have to and you start new threads because you're compelled to so you're just a serial thread starter with compartmentalisation, categorisation and classification tendencies. So there.
