Diois cols

If any of you are heading to south east France, if it's any help, I've updated my list of cols over 1000m in the Die area, in a roughly 50-mile radius. I thought I'd exhausted them all, but I've got one more to do (Col de Mens), but I hope the list as it stands will both tantalise and help.

Anyway, happy col-hunting, wherever you go!

Good stuff, Brian. I enjoy reading your site. Keep it up. You are lucky to have a home in such a lovely mountainous and unspoilt area of France. I've done a lot of cycling in your area over the years - mostly on my steel tourer with camping gear - and really enjoy the tiny D roads where you can ride for hours without seeing a car.
Now I've taken up camper van touring with my carbon road bike, my most recent discovery is a brilliant aire at Chichiliane, off the Col de Menee, although it can get very cold there at night in May and September. The village has a superb artisan bakery which sells special "sportive" bread, packed with dried fruit and nuts - just the thing for a cycling energy boost.0 -
Thanks. I keep on thinking I'll run out of things to photograph or say things about, but not yet, it seems...Mercia Man wrote:Good stuff, Brian. I enjoy reading your site. Keep it up. [...]

I've never stopped in Cichillianne... the run down to Clelles is just too much fun... especially with a tailwind, as I had today.0
