🇫🇷 Can You Spot My Mistakes? | Fast Descent into Le Lau 🚴♂️
A fast, flowing descent through the hills above Le Pin turns into a reminder that even familiar roads deserve respect.
This route drops rapidly towards Le Lau through a series of sweeping bends, smooth tarmac and spectacular views across the Hérault countryside. But somewhere on the descent, I made two mistakes.
Can you spot them?
One involved a corner. The other was a decision made long before I reached it.
Riding a Scott Team CR1 equipped with traditional mechanical rim brakes, the experience also raises an interesting question. Would modern disc brakes have changed anything, or was this simply rider error?
Filmed entirely in real time and presented without commentary, this ride captures the speed, concentration and enjoyment of descending on some of the best cycling roads in Southern France.

Great fun coming down here. Nice for a rest after the 7km Climb up but some treacherous corners, some gravel and stones make this a technical ride. Please let me know your thoughts on this ride? What would make these rides more interesting? We are blessed to cycle these roads
