Definitely not the case around here (and I can't think of any reason why or how that would change) but it'd be useful to know where this is happening Parks near Robregordo.

turbofurball Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I guess because they have a few endangered species there (unlike here where it's mostly just ants) Seems fair to me, don't want the last of something to get trodden on just because someone wanted to go for a jog!

Trails established by feet / cattle / bikes or whatever, act as fire breaks. Fire damage has increased apparently without paths, not good for wild life either ?

There's been more fires than normal this year, and not all firebreaks are large enough for the conditions that modern weather can make, so this is a problem in many areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisse Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Back to the Ventoux, another class has been added this year... Green. This to bridge the gap between the easy yellow and the harder blue and the even harder big boys red. The green is usually good in as much it allows to ease the yellow and lift the blue, so bear it in mind if your entering. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'm not in a position to enter this year, but may be able to next - is it ok to enter Yellow and then complete some stages in the blue route? Either way, it sounds like a nice system to encourage those who are trying to improve but can only do so gradually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisse Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 No its a little more complicated, you need a team of three all riding the same route. I recommend you pick a route and stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paco2cv Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Is this event spectator friendly or is it scattered over a wide area? Might be able to detour for a gander if any of it is easily accessible. Any info gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisse Posted September 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 The sections are pretty spread out but there is a good semi artificle section close to the Start / Parking. There is usually two or three more within walking distance in different directions from the start also. I would suggest a visit and its worth a detour just to see the lovely array of bikes on display which are all parked up each night.
