Langs de Reculée de Balerne en de Forêt de la Joux

The ride

This ride rolls out of Champagnole and back again, 76.2 km with 748 m of climbing, all of it on paved surface. You follow the Ain river out of town, then pass the Reculée de Balerne nature reserve before picking up the Angillon river. The route then takes you through the Forêt de la Joux forest, and from there it's back to Champagnole to close the loop.
