Orientation table at the Tour Sans Venin

Highlight • Viewpoint

This orientation table dates back to 1924. To reach it, take the path to the right uphill from the main road. The panorama is interesting, with a 360-degree view of the Vercors, Chartreuse, and Belledone.

Just after the tunnel going up towards Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, the track told me to go to the right but I strongly advise against it, it is a very steep slope, I have already done it on foot frankly I do not recommend mountain biking. It is better to continue taking a detour and climb gradually. Then for the return, be careful …

Come on, I'm taking advantage of the fact that my son is taking part in a rugby tournament in Seyssins to discover the trails there, and in particular the old tram line.
Unfortunately, no more battery to record the descent (that's not recharging your Garmin regularly), you will have to come back...

The temperature is ideal. You still have to be careful on the descent, the northern parts are still very wet.

It's nice, the whole climb is done in the shade via the tram line. The grass is yellow, the ground is dry and sandy, unheard of. We met the UT4M trailers. At the ravito of St Nizier, some had already suffered a lot, already abandonments.

No luck, there was a violent storm localized for 30 minutes on the descent, just for “my mouth”. I got a bad bowl, my wrist hurts.

Above all, they hide the irregularities of the terrain. I'm not going to complain, the weather is nice, and for once I have a little thought for those who are at work 😉
