On the road in the Auvergne, the start of the mountains after weeks of relative flat.
Dramatic Saou, home to a mini mtb event and the Markus Biere micro brewery.

Nyons, my first stop in Provence. The sun was back and life was good.
First sight of Ventoux, beyond the vineyards after Vaison la Romaine.
At Bedoin, turn-off for the climb to Ventoux. The plaque above the Ventoux sign remembers Tom Simpson.
