Nice Sunday morning Gravel ride. Arrived at 8 am in Miribel park, not a soul 🐈⬛ but a few hares and signs waking up quietly near the many beaches. I'm surprised by the quality of the singles and trails which are super well maintained. Would gladly do it again.

Perfect climb for winter outings when it's very cold! The return via Rillieux is less pleasant but be careful of the wind if you go through Ain! For more advice, don't hesitate to follow us on all networks @chouchou_team
