  • Thanks. It is an inspirational place to ride

  • On a recent 3 week riding vacation where we rode almost every large climb in Italy and France (34,747 meters or 114,000' of climbing over 2 1/2 weeks) we capped the trip by riding all 3 Ascents of Mt Ventoux in one day. 84 miles and 4,596 meters in 7 hours 10 minutes. Our first climb to the summit began in Bedouin, then we climbed to the summit from Malauecene and finished it off with the climb to the summit from Sault. We joined a select group of riders in "Club des Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux."

  • Sounds like a good trip. My son and I rode the Cingles in August, took a bit longer than you, but a great way to 'do' the Ventoux. We chose the same order as you - seemed the best approach

  • in a few years i'm planning on riding up and down the mont ventoux, is the view nice from up there?

  • Pick a day when the weather is clear, the views are awesome!! And the ride is pretty good too

  • Did the Mont Ventoux upand down in the early '90's: I think it was something like 1hr30 going up and 21 minutes coming down (topped out at 100kph). I certainly don't remember this much traffic though (good thing because we were using both sides of the road at times coming down (ahem ... NOT recommended!)).

  • The view's nice ... if you're into moonscape .... lol!!

see all
