Puy de Dome

I intend to ride this in the summer.My information is that this is permitted 0700-0900 Weds and Suns. Has anyone definitely made the ride at these times?

The road is only open for cyclists during very limited periods (when other vehicles are prohibited). In 2006 this is 7-9am on Wednesdays and Sundays between 1 May and 30 September.

Just shows the different attitude the French have got towards cycling - they even close the road for them...

I've done it on a Monday.
It took a little bit of smiling and "I've ridden all the way from the UK to ride your wonderful French mountain" and I was waved through

Its an excellent climb.

Thanks for that keepontriking, you're probably better looking than me (last time I rode it was fifty years ago-if I smiled they would probably arrest me)- I'll play safe anrd try wednesday.
