Day 3 - St Vincent les forts - Grand Morgon Forest
Departure: Camping de St Vincent les fort 9:00
Arrival: Grand Morgon Forest 17:00
Distance: 20 - 30 km (different routes possible)
Climbing and Descent: 800m of ascent
It's not possible to start directly from the campsite so we'll give you a lift in the van to the start of the ride.
These next two days will really feel like a true mountain biking adventure with an overnight wild camp, barely disturbed mountains and woods and interesting tracks to ride.
Today is a big day with 800 metres of ascent - about 12km up hill! But by now your legs should be perfectly adapted to cycling and ready for a tough day! And you are rewarded with spectacular views from the col at the top! A perfect place for a picnic!
The rest of the route is a beautiful cross country route, traversing through the forests above the lake, (very lord of the rings country!).
There a some very pretty little secluded bays along the way so a swim stop is usually a given (and quite a good idea as you won't be having any showers later!)
Tonight you will be camping wild in the forest of Grand Morgon. You will have the same tents and matresses you have been using on the previous nights, which will be dropped off with the rest of your baggage at the camp spot. There aren't any showers or toilets but the guides will explain camping etiquette for toilets!
It is a great night, all on your own in the woods with just the sounds of the birds and animals of the night to keep you company. Very relaxing.
