Waterside between Le Drugeon and Le Doubs

The ride

Roll out of Pontarlier and let the route carry you along the Doubs river before the Drugeon takes over further on. Of the 60.9 km, roughly half runs unpaved, so expect the surface to switch back and forth as you go. With 1071 m of climbing spread across the loop, the legs get a proper workout between the rivers. Then it's back to Pontarlier to close the circle.
