Col de la Bonette
« on: May 08, 2022, 11:07:28 AM »
Video of the last part of the climb up Col de la Bonette. At 2807M, it is the highest paved road in Europe. The very last bit, at the right turn, has been added recently so the French could keep the title.
You can just about hear the engine over the wind with me dancing on the gearbox a bit!  :thumb:

Cracking video and the view from up there is amazing. We had wet roads when I did it a few years back but it had stopped raining. Coming back down on my VaraderoI just couldn't get my Avon Distanzia's to warm up and had zero grip, it was like riding on ice !
