We rode the winding road with fantastic switchbacks and lefts and immediate rights but due to the wet weather, couldn't get the most out of them.
We turned round at the bottom and rode it back up but after my brother had lost confidence in his tyres and the knock on effect it had had on me, forcing me to select traction control 3, we headed back to France with the intention of visiting a series of waterfalls.
The journey back was nasty. The weather conspired against us and there was still snow by the roadside as we went over the mountains and the temperature markedly dropped off.
I know there are some hardcore, all weather riders on here but, when it's for pleasure, I'm not one of them.
Seeing as we were wet, we thought the water falls were a natural progression but went back to the caravan first, got out of our wet clothes and drove to Cascades du Herrison to get wet for the second time.
