Hills between La Loire and La Loise

The ride

Roll out of Chazelles-sur-Lyon on a loop of 71.7 km that keeps the legs turning with 730 m of climbing. The route is almost entirely paved, with just a sliver of unpaved track, and it follows the water: past the Le Volvon river, then the La Mare, on to the La Loire and finally the La Loise. Each river marks another stretch before the road swings you back to where you started.
