You speak so little about your bike, do you have any other posts about it?

No I don't, but looks like I should :)
Longs story short, I'm using the cheapest Decathlon Triban 100 (~300 Eur) with replaced transmission. Instead of stock 7 speed one I installed Shimano Sora 34/50 & 11-34 (bought it on Aliexpress for 200 Eur). Also instead of stock tires I installed Continental Contact Plus 35 mm.
Amazing, it sounds like it was sufficient to get you up those climbs. From the way you write it sounds like the descents were more difficult
True, 1:1 (sora has 34:34) lowest gear is absolutely enough for all the climbings on this route. I guess even 34:32 may be enough, depends of physical condition of rider.
Damn, that is beautiful. Hope to see more of your posts here!
