A l'assaut de la Drôme à vélo

Entièrement dans la Drôme, cette boucle de 82 km fait pédaler au coeur du parc naturel régional des Baronnies Provençales. En chemin, plusieurs cols emblématiques du secteur se succédent (comme le col de Perty et le col Saint Jean). L'itinéraire fait passer également le long de rivières caractéritiques comme le Toulourenc, la Méouge et l'Ouvèze. Depuis Laborel, c'est par une ascension jusqu'au Col Saint Jean que débute cet itinéraire (denivelé positif de 328 m). Redescendre à Izon-la-Bruisse et Eygalayes où les virages s'enchaînent. Regagner la D542 pour rouler jusqu'à Séderon. Il est temps de garvir le Col de Macuègne avec une pente moyenne de 4.7% (dénivelé positif de 262 m). Il offre une vue magnifique sur la face nord du Mont Ventoux. Rejoindre Montbrun-les-Bains, station thermale réputée et village médiéval qui figure parmi les plus beaux villages de France. Suivre la D159 qui longe le Toulourenc (rivière qu'alimente le mont Ventoux et qui coule dans une gorge profonde pour une belle halte rafraîchissante). Après Aulan et le col d'Aulan, rejoindre la D546 pour pédaler jusqu'à St-Auban-sur-l'Ouvèze. De là débute l'ascension pour le fameux Col de Perty (une montée de 18 km de long, pour un dénivelé positif de 698 m). Il faut poursuivre sur la D65, le long de l'Ouvèze (affluent du Rhône) et rejoindre le col par plusieurs épingles qui se succèdent. Le parcours se termine en beauté par une belle descente du col jusqu'à Laborel.
