Roll out of Rieux-Volvestre and the road quickly settles into a rhythm, all of it paved. You pass the manor of Maison Laguens before the route follows first the Arize, then the Garonne and the Hourride. Later comes the castle of Château de Palaminy, with the Touch seeing you along the final stretch. A 72.8 km loop with 680 m of climbing brings you back to where you began.
