Rondje Château de la Motte en Le Loing

The ride

Roll out of Château-Renard and follow the Ouanne river before the Château de la Motte rises into view. The route then tracks the Loing and the Canal de Briare, with the Aveyron waiting further along. A last castle, the Manoir du Grand-Courtoiseau, sees you toward home. Of the 57.3 km, roughly half runs unpaved, so pick your tyres with that in mind.
