The ride
From Riom-ès-Montagnes you roll out and straight into the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d'Auvergne, a nature reserve that sets the tone for the day. The route then follows the Le Gabacut, La Rhue and La Véronne rivers in turn, each one breaking up the climbing. With 1440 m of elevation gain across the loop, the legs will know they've been out. The ride is fully paved and brings you back to where you started.
