Roll out of Châtres-sur-Cher and follow the Cher river before the towers of the Château de la Motte appear on your route. The road then traces the Renon, the Fouzon and the Sauldre, with the Château de Romorantin marking the far turn. It's 73.4 km of paved riding with 311 m of climbing, and the loop brings you back to the village where you started.
