As an appetizer, the SR5, the Croze-Saint Andéol de Vals, 42 km of which a good ten covered with ice that is as tricky as one could wish. Some crews will have visited the low sides like the Fiat 124 spider number 19 of the Italian Sticchi.

After this big hors d’oeuvre, the stop to get back into shape (coffee, apple pie and water from Vals) at the home of our friend Yves Jouanny was more than welcome before tackling the SR6 of more than 30km!
