The ride
Roll out of Pierrefort and follow the route as it unfolds, first along the Le Vezou river. Two castles break up the ride, the Château de Paulhac and the Château du Jarry, before you cross the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d'Auvergne. The loop then follows the L'Épie river on the way back to Pierrefort. All 68.4 km are paved, with 861 m of climbing along the way.
