July 15th Contes

Today was a random ride I picked out a while ago with a climb of a modest mountain(?) of 620m

Stats - A category 2 climb - 6.3km @6.6% topping out at 618m

The ride out of Nice was pretty crappy - a lot of industrial type roads & traffic, lots of commuters. Finally hit town of Contes and things start looking up. Turn off the main road and into a small street where the climb starts. This was a short climb but really nice - although the views were less stellar than I have been used to so far on the trip, the road was great. The switchbacks were tightly packed together and the road narrow making a fun climb.

A cross was perched at one of the switchbacks near the top

Most of the pictures were into the rising sun, so not great.
