Tips from the Community
Be careful, since yesterday, June 19th, the descent to Rivèrenert has been freshly graveled and dangerous. I had a rear puncture due to small, sharp gravel sticking to the tire when braking. So, don't go crazy on this descent, friends.

Because around 12pm and >31°C, the climb from Biert is mostly in the shade, and this pass generally ends a series of small linked passes (like Portech, Catchaudégué or La Core, Saraillé, etc.). And the challenge of the last 3 km is worth experiencing to strengthen your mental strength. Get to your pedals

Magnificent view of the historic center, with the river it makes a magnificent landscape. A bit of a shame that there is the main road not far away with the incessant noise of cars... but it's still worth it!
