Roll out from the parking area at Réserve naturelle du bas-marais tourbeux de la Basse Goulandière and the route unfolds at an easy pace. You pass Château du Grand-Lucé, cross the La Veuve river and roll through the Forêt de Bercé forest before the loop brings you home. All 73.8 km are paved, with 435 m of climbing spread along the way.
