Roll out of Neuvy-sur-Loire and let the ride unfold along the water: first the Vrille, then the Loire, then the Trézée, each river pulling you further into the day. Somewhere along the way the Château du Muguet appears, and later the Étang des Blondeaux opens up beside the route. With 68.1 km ahead and 276 m of climbing, it stays paved the whole way, so you can keep your rhythm from start to finish. Then it's back to where you began.
