Friday. Lamboing. Left around 10:30. Blacksmith. Warm, sunny, light breezes. Took the road to Preles, then a quick right toward Le Chatillon. Looking at the sign again, what yesterday appeared to be a bicycle, today looked more like either an e-bike or a scooter; in other words, the road may just be closed to motorized traffic. Through Lignieres to the little road going west over the ridge: Vy d'Enty. Before the fairly steep climb through the woods there were nice views of the Alps in the distance and of Lake Neuchatel down below. An eagle flew overhead, then drifted off to the left, perhaps looking for easier prey in the field. On the road toward Enges the right turn toward Chaumont, for the climb over the next ridge. Once more a demanding but not very busy road through the woods. Down toward Savagnier was steep and fast; coming up from that side may require a lighter gear than 36x28. Some easy kilometers in the Val de Ruz, but from Dombresson the climb to the Chasseral is underway. Not very difficult until after the right turn at Bugnenets (altitude 1151m), then the tough part to the short downhill at Chalet La Cornette, before the last, easier bit to the pass. Left for a change, all the way to the tower (1607m), which yielded even better views of the line of snow-capped mountains to the southeast. Down to the split and a right turn toward Lignieres/Enges, but then a left turn onto the yesterday's little road toward Nods. Home from there.
