September 10, 2025,Murat - Col de la Molède

So, I originally wanted to hike the Super Lioran. Except I picked up an electric vehicle yesterday, and needless to say, the battery was pretty drained on the highway. So, I changed plans, looked for a fast-charging station, and finally stopped in Murat.
And so, a superb ride starting from Murat. 😁
