Col de Perty is relatively easy and a nice ride too, the Tour de France take it often as this is a nice way to commute from the Alps to the Pyrenees ! The other good thing around the Ventoux is that you can find so many quiet roads, very nice place for a familly bike ride, challenging but enjoyable You should visit Vaison La Romaine, Dentelles de Montmirail and have a wine taste around Vacqueras and Gigondas (My favorite red wines !...) Why not riding some of this years's Dauphine Libere, St Paul trois Chateaux - Risoul ... If you need more ideas, give me a shout !
thanks for the input! depending on how I feel after alp d huez and ventoux (at least try) well see if I have any legs left.
