Rondje Château de Châteaubriant en Forêt de Juigné

The ride

From Erbray, this 73.3 km loop rolls out past the castle of Châteaubriant and follows La Chère before the castle of Tressé and the Verzée come into view. The route then slips through the Forêt de Juigné forest and on to the castle of la Motte-Glain, with Le Don alongside before the ride turns back to Erbray. With 41% unpaved, there's a good share of gravel mixed into the day.
