The ride

From Graissessac the road climbs and drops for 73.8 km, with 1767 m of elevation gain along the way. You roll past La Nuéjouls and then L'Orb, two rivers that break up the climbing. Further on, the Château de Cazilhac castle appears before the route follows Le Gravezon river back toward home. Almost all of it runs on paved surface, and the loop brings you back to where you started.
