Trace Velocio 2026. Le Thoronet to Sault — Mostly Bikes x Me (2026)

Our planned route was closed by a landslide, but the north traverse of the gorge was open, and busy.

  • Role: journey waypoint
  • In the article: The midday section of the ride climbs through the gorge; with the planned road closed by a landslide, the team takes the north traverse instead.
  • Why it matters: The ride’s big scenic and climbing section, and the one place the plan had to change.
