Roll out of Sambin and the road soon brings you past the castle of Fougères-sur-Bièvre. From there the route follows the Cosson, the Beuvron, La Bonne Heure and the Conon, one river after another. The 77.6 km loop is fully paved, so you can keep the wheels turning without a thought for unpaved stretches. Back in Sambin, the ride closes where it began.
