I can not reason why we waited so long to ride this route. I suppose for the best weather day? 70F+ in the gorge most of the day with a cool breeze. The landscape is typically Provence in places, and dense forest in others. A short section of road was being navigated by several large trains of caterpillars The entirety of the gorge is largely traffic free, owing to the the narrow roads and the holes bored through the rock bearing signs shooing away vehicles exceeding 2.7 meters.
