Hi
Has anyone done any cycling in Provence? Aside from the legendary road climb up Mt Ventoux which we'll be having a go at (weather depending!), does anyone have any recommendations for good riding areas, off-road or on?
Thanks
Just took the road bikes last Easter cracking road riding. We went down to Montagne Sainte-Victoire just east of Aix en Provence, some good looking [url= http://www.grandsitesaintevictoire.com/index.php/grand_site/decouvrir/activites_de_plein_air/vtt ]VTT[/url] here's a taster.

Gorge du Verdon and the gorges around Mt Ventoux are all highlights (Gorge Du Nesque -sp?) and another one i forgot the name of.
If you take wiggly routes that take you through Gorde, Lacoste, Forcalquier, Roussillon then its all good
If you can get a copy of Lonely Planets 'Cycling France' book it has a number of smaller tours that can link together.
