Rondje Château de Pujols en Réserve naturelle du Mas Larrieu

The ride

Roll out of Saint-Cyprien and the route soon slips past the Réserve naturelle du Mas Larrieu, a nature reserve on the way. From there it follows the Le Tech and La Riberette rivers before climbing to the Château de Pujols, a castle that breaks up the 1399 m of elevation gain. La Massane is the last river on the way back to the start. With 44% unpaved, expect a mixed day of paved and gravel riding.
