The ride
Roll out of Melay and follow the water: past the La Teyssonne river, then the La Loire, and on to the Sornin. Two castles break up the riding, the Château de la Garde and Château Saint-Hugues, before the L'Arçon river brings you home. It's 61.4 km with 855 m of climbing, split between paved and unpaved going. A lively loop that keeps unfolding from start to finish.
