The ride

Roll out of Paray-le-Monial and follow the Bourbince river before the towers of Château de Digoine come into view. The route keeps linking water and stone, from the Semence and Ozolette rivers to the castles of Marcilly and Sélore. It's 76.5 km of paved riding with 736 m of climbing, and the Arconce river sees you along before the road turns back to the start.
