Off to Ambialet

June 9, 2023

A small village in the valley with modern day windmills on the hillside. I guess it is windy here.

We set off from Plaisance to Ambialet after getting all of the bikes set up. It was a 44km ride with 1300’ of climbing on a cloudy and always threatening rain. Fortunately, it didn’t start until we were almost back to the hotel because shortly after we had a major thunderstorm. It was a beautiful ride along the river but it was not flat nor was it really hilly. The climbs were 3-7% and not overly long. We rode to the very cute village of Ambialet on the south side of the river where we had a short rest and then rode back halfway on the north side before crossing back to the south for the last 10km. Once back I watched the end of the Criterium de Dauphiné followed by the French Open with Linda.

The village of Gaycre from the south side of the river.

Ambialet again with a monastery on the top of the hill on the other side of the river

We had a couple of small tunnels to navigate.

Today's ride: 44 km (27 miles)
Total: 1,875 km (1,164 miles)
