This is the second bike ride we managed whilst out in France in mid June. We were staying between Nice and Monaco and rented bikes locally to explore the area on two wheels. We set off by getting the train from Nice to Menton, close to the border with Italy. This was no easy feat with the trains being busy. After missing the first train as no one would let us on we arrived at Menton later than we’d planned and the heat of the day of fast approaching. We love hill climbing so sort out two cols nearby, Col de la Madone and Col de Braus.
Col de la Madone is approximately 15km climb averaging 7% and Col de Braus 10km averaging 6.3%
At the top of Col de la Madone we managed to restock with fluid before setting off again. We anticipated another stop point at the top of the next climb but it was closed 🥵 We were drinking at double our usual rate and by the top of the second climb ran out of water. We descended and had another small climb before descending all the way to Menton in 35 degrees and no fluid approximately 16 miles. By the end we weren’t in a great place but made it back safely thankfully.
