Learn it in Third then ride it like you mean it. The Col du Pas d’Oulier is 4 km up and 4km down.The route is graded well, with a good surface and easy turnaround at either end, so ideal for a bit of winter skills practice. Between Roquefort-la-Bédoule and La Ciotat, just outside Marseille.
And photos of the pre-dawn departure from frosty Heathrow yesterday.
