Route Details

* As it is a circular route you may park at any place if you want. But considering the difficulties I may suggest it is better to start from the Jabron Valley, at least half of it, so you just have time to warm up the legs before the first major climb @photo[(Montagne de Lure)](13228049) and cool down after the second major climb (Col du negron).

* From west to east, Jabron Valley has a little negative slope. Unless stormy weather you might be helped by Mistral wind going down the valley
* Two major Climbs: @photo[Montagne de Lure](13228053) (north side) and Col du Negron (south side)
* Two major Descents:  Montagne de Lure (south side, good concrete and good visibility in bends) and Col du Negron (North side, bad concrete/ bad visibility be carefull !)
* You should find very low traffic during the two climbs. A bit more but still low in the Jabron Valley and the road between St Etienne les Orgues and Revest du Bion

# Notes

* the @photo[Lure Road](13228052) is officially closed to motor vehicules between november and May, but it may be possible to ride it if no snow during this period
* Lure Climb is quite long i.e. 20km climb so you better be fit to enjoy it
* You may find water in les Omergues, Montfroc, @poi[Valbelle](35333750) and @poi[Banon](35334651) . In St etienne les Orgues and Banon are some supermarkets. For a coffee stop I would recommend Banon
* From June to beginnning of July you will enjoy @photo[Lavenda fields](13228050) on your road back between Lure and Negron
