Heading back to Nice for another month this summer and while I know some of the climbs in the area, does anyone have any suggested routes or know of where I could find routes/routemaps of various Cols. This infor can be in either French or English. Before anyone suggests driving anywhere know that I will not be doing that. All rides will be starting from Nice. Typically I get in rides like the Col D'eze, Col de la Madone, La Trinite, the climb up to Gilette, etc. Can anyone help out with routes/destinations in that area? Finally, would anyone know about local racing? Thanks.

Ask on weight weenies about racing (plenty of racers, and it's a hell of lot more international there than here).

as far as routes, 3 of my training partners are there this weekend doing a climbing training camp for the maratona. i'll ask them if they could give me some routes when they get back.
