Waterside between the Lieure and the Andelle

The ride

Roll out of Gournay-en-Bray and let the ride unfold along the La Lieure and L'Andelle rivers before the Château de Merval rises into view. The route keeps rolling past La Mésangueville and the Rivière de Mésangueville, then swings back to where it began. All 79.6 km are paved, with 685 m of climbing spread across the day. Rivers, a castle and open road — that's the shape of it.
