Nice ride tonight, up and down between and around the villages around here - Le Beaucet to Ste Gens and back, then to Vanesque, then over to Sananque (the Abbey), then to Murs, and then over the Col du Murs and down (a fun 8 km descent!) and then back through Vanesque and Le Beaucet to La Roque. 57 kms.
I stopped along the way this time to take some pics. Here they are:

The road up to Ste Gens (a steady 9-11% for 2 kms or so). |

At the end of the road, above Ste Gens, is a limestone quarry. You can see
Mt. Ventoux in the distance. |

Typical road and terrain up the D177 to the Abbey at Sananque. |
