From Beaurains the route rolls out past the river Le Crinchon, then on to the castle at Barly and the castle at Duisans. The Citadelle d'Arras follows before the road brings you home. Along the way you cover 73.4 km, almost all of it on paved surface, with 454 m of climbing to keep the legs interested. Back in Beaurains, the loop closes where it began.
