Along the Aisne past Estrées-Saint-Denis

The ride

From Thourotte the route rolls out along the Oise, then follows the Aronde and the Aisne on its way through the countryside. Past the castle of Bellinglise you keep going to the Matz before turning back toward Thourotte. All 80.4 km are paved, with 422 m of climbing spread along the way. Rivers, a castle and open road — the ride does the rest.
