Ride the Mountains the Pros Fear! One of the Toughest Climbs in Cycling | Ride the infamous Bédoin route | Test your Limits!
Test your Limits on the Mountain that has Inspired Philosopher Quotes
"The Ventoux is a God of Evil, to which sacrifices must be made. It never forgives weakness and extracts an unfair tribute of suffering." - Roland Barthes, philosopher.
Ventoux Fights you, Mocks you…
Ventoux is not just a Hors Category climb. This col has its own microclimate. It may have been warm and sunny when you started, but the last 6 kms could be rain, wind, and fog! Or vice versa. That last 6 kms is also rocky and barren. You could be forgiven for feeling you were riding on the moon! If you’re having a good day, that last six kms is a spur to conquer ‘The Beast of Provence’. If you’re having a bad day, you will feel the mountain is mocking you, playing tricks! And, it probably is!
