I'm with you 100%. Komoot helps you discover so many new places. But sometimes you wish they had remained undiscovered.

Congratulations on a milestone day! If you’re ever back in this part of the world you should ride the Nesque Gorge in the other direction. It’s a surreal, sublime experience.

Unrelenting is exactly it. Climbing with no visual cue of your progress is purgatory. Congratulations on having conquered that climb from Bédoin. Stay tuned, I do make it up Ventoux eventually! ;) I appreciate you choosing to read my journal.

What a compliment! I kept a paper journal while touring, and reading comments like yours motivate me to keep transcribing. Thanks for reading, Kathleen.

Hah you're right, they're an indulgence. I would feel like such a dweeb wearing cycling glasses with my regular clothes. And my sunglasses don't block enough wind/debris when I'm cycling. So I made room for both.

Do you really need two pairs of sun glasses?

I’m thoroughly enjoying your journal. I think I’ll give you the CycleBlaze Prize for Best Photographic Presentation of Food.

I look forward to reading the about the rest of your tour.

A valiant attempt! Climbing Ventoux from Bedoin is the hardest bike ride I've ever done. That forest section completely sucks. It's just unrelenting. If I had been smarter (and had some encouragement from the weather), I would have turned around, too.
