Rivers between Veauche and Feurs

The ride

Roll out of Montbrison and let the ride unfold along the water: first the Vizézy, then the Loire, then the Coise, each river ticking off another stretch of the route. Midway, the Château de La Bruyère castle gives you something to aim for before the road bends back through Le Moingt. With 73.8 km ahead and 338 m of climbing, it's a steady day out from start to finish in Montbrison.
