You start with a fairly steep climb for 1.5 km, then continue on handsome paths to Felgerolles, before a gentle descent to Mas Méjean. 
A short but rather sharp climb to the Col de Rouvère pass follows.
Then come 2 kilometres of false-flat track to reach Les Quatres Chemins (kilometre 14). A pleasant singletrack in the forest lets you recover quickly. The final descent is love at first sight. Magnificent views over Mont Lozère and the village of Le Pont-de-Montvert throughout.
