Up through the forest, hunting the quieter roads in Vercors.

  • Role: subject
  • In the article: A single sentence under the title La Forêt d’Herbouilly: the ride climbs through the forest in search of the Vercors’ quieter roads.
  • Why it matters: The forest is the post’s subject, but the text gives only this line, so it is recorded under the massif.

Last day in Vercors. Side quests to collect a few passes. The best part of this ride is the very quiet ~9mi logging road.

  • Role: setting
  • In the article: On the last day of the trip the riders collect a few passes; the best part is a quiet logging road of about nine miles, and the Vercors is judged pretty but better outside the school holidays.
  • Why it matters: The whole setting of the post, though briefly described.
