• Is there anything else worth riding (other than just rolling around and enjoying the countryside) around the Ventoux? Going down there in late spring/early summer and will have a couple of days, one for a couple of sides of the mountain and a warm-up day. Doesn't need to be a mountain, but maybe more interesting than a D-road along a valley.

  • Definitely. The Gorges de la Nesque is definitely worth a visit by bike, some stunning roads and scenery. I did the Etape back in 2009, from Montelimar to the summit of Ventoux, and have always wanted to go back to the area around Nyons, which was very scenic, and the road round the back of Ventoux to Sault, which was great to ride.

    Edit: Reply interrupted by dinner, said what others had already said.
