Mavic Trans-Provence is back for another year of timed trail exploration from Embrun to Menton on the Mediterranean.
If Day 1 was a day for spinning out the legs or chilling out, today threw everyone in at the high end. Col des Orres saw wheels turning over the highest point of the week at a cool (but still actually pretty flippin’ warm) 2613m.
Gone was the snow of 2016, replaced by temperatures marching past the thirty degree mark in the glacier-carved Ubaye Valley.
