The ride

Roll out of Cusset and the road opens up for a loop of 78.5 km, all of it paved. You follow the Le Jolan river, then the La Besbre, before the Hostellerie du Puits de l'Image castle appears on your way. Next comes the Château de La Palice castle, and with 946 m of climbing in the legs you turn for home. Back into Cusset, wheel by wheel.
