JAR R3a The Ventoux Villages East 35km 6/10

Includes D224 Mazan to St. Pierre.

Easy, rolling hills, 32km visiting all the local villages in the Ventoux area.

This is an ideal warmup or light day ride for the entire group. Not too long, not too hilly and a good introduction to the local area. Follow the quiet roads to neighbouring Bedoin (and Monday would be a good day for this route as it is Market Day in Bedoin), Flassan, Villes sur Auzon, Momoiron, St. Pierre des Vassols and home.

There are wineries along the route and each village has lunch and cafe options so take a moment to dismount and refill your waterbottles at the central fountain. (The fresh spring water from these public fountains is drinkable unless market to the contrary L'EAU NON POTABLE.)
