The gendarmes of the company Carpenter conducted a road check operation in the Venturous. An intervention intended to inform the numerous cyclists to launch to the assault of this mythical ascent but which can be dangerous.
The gendarmes backed by agents of the ONF and the rural police reminded the good rules to circulate by bike: keep his right even downhill, do not circulate more than two abreast and - it is not mandatory but highly recommended - wear a helmet, a reflective vest and provide warm and waterproof clothing.
The weather conditions gave a particular meaning to these tips
At the top it was 10 degrees, there were fog and even hail. Other advice provided: use the bins and containers made available to avoid venting the Venturous. Be very careful with the fire hazard.
The officers of the Territorial Directorate distributed leaflets in French and English giving the essential advice for the protection of forests against fire.
