Good to hear it is worth doing, will help me put the work in to be ready for it.
Going to be based near Bedoin for a couple of weeks in July so seems rude not to if time allows.

It's a great thing to tick off, and actually an enjoyable ride! Did it about 10 years ago - wow time flies.
15 years ago I was a student in Annecy, and while I did a bit of riding around the lake and up to Semnoz and Forclaz, my memory falters. We'll be there for one day in June and planning a loop of the lake, any tips or pointers from those with more recent experience? Also bars for a post ride beer?!
After that we'll be down in the Verdons, and I'm thinking of riding a Gorges du Verdon loop on the road, and also trying to explore some of the premium-looking gravel I can spy on Google earth...again, if anyone has any top tips for cycling or other info around there (we're in a campsite but will go in to Moustiers Sainte Marie to eat one time, other recommendations welcome)
And yes ok, these are not strictly the high mountains, more the rolling foothills. Cheers!

The Club des Cinglés du Ventoux route? Yep, did it a few years ago. Definitely worth doing.
At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, it's a long day in the saddle. We started reasonably early (well, soon after breakfast at the hotel) and it was pretty dark by the time we finished.
