I promised Deb a great day riding through the Vercors plateaux and mountains, tackling the exciting balcony roads pairing fabulous views with challenging riding.
But Mother Nature had other plans. For most of the day, our primary view was the inside of a cloud through rain-soaked visors! Thankfully, the weather broke just long enough to give us a taste of the region's stunning scenery.
Beyond the roads, we came here to pay our respects at key memorials honouring the horrific events of summer 1944 and the brave fighters of the French Resistance. Being completely dripping wet we decided to save the Resistance Memorial at Vassieux-en-Vercors for next time.
A wet day, but an incredible place, we’ll definitely be back !
This trip was all about seeing new places and making memories, not photography, but here are few quick snaps from the day's ride !
A wet day ahead
Nothing to see here sadly
The first memorial stop of the day
We felt it would be rude of us, dripping wet, to visit this memorial, so saving it for next time.
A glimpse of the beauty of this region.
The RT was impeccable all day on challenging roads in challenging weather.
