Roll out of Bourges and let the ride unfold along the water: first the Yèvre, then the Langis, before the towers of the Château de Brécy pull your gaze. On you go past the Airin and the Auron, rivers ticking by one after another. With 76.9 km ahead and 364 m of climbing, the route keeps mostly to paved surface, so the focus stays on the landscape and the villages drifting past. Then it's back to where you started, in Bourges.
