Climb made during the 5th stage of the 2013 Tour.



The climb is quite shady and there was not too much traffic for a Monday in early July. The slope is visible from afar, straight lines are long enough for us to see well in advance what happens to us under our wheels ...

Hard in sections though short. Continue on from Chateauneuf towards Gourdon and the Col de l'Ecre.

Going downhill is a blast (60 - 70 kph easily) if your brakes are good and no cars are on your side of the road going the opposite direction.

There is a water fountain at the second large roundabout in Chateauneuf opposite the Cafe des Cyclistes.
