The ride
From Saint-Rambert-en-Bugey you roll out along the L'Albarine, then climb past the Château de Montferrand. The route keeps linking castles: Chazey-sur-Ain, Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens and finally Varey, before the Ain river guides you home. It's 81.9 km, all paved, with 1088 m of climbing to keep the legs honest.
