The route is organised. You manage your own adventure. Prepare these three essentials before setting off.
Follow a GPS track without course markings and manage your food, water and repairs. Do not rely on a return shuttle: check your event’s services and withdrawal procedure.
The rules require ID and a compliant medical certificate less than a year old on the event date, or an accepted licence. PPS is not accepted. Check the exact wording and accepted licences in the rules.
Helmet, appropriate and reflective clothing, lights, pump and repair kit, spare tube, survival blanket, whistle, phone and charger, water: check the full list and test your equipment before starting.
Read cancellation terms before paying. If a tracker is provided, check its deposit and return requirements. Registration and receiving a track do not remove these obligations.

Du 24 au 26 septembre 2027 en Val de Loire. Dix traces, de 60 à 500 km, en gravel ou en route.
LA LOIRE, LA SOLOGNE ET LES PREMIÈRES BRUMES
Fin septembre, la Loire prend cette couleur d’étain qu’elle ne garde que quelques semaines. Les brumes du matin s’accrochent aux bancs de sable, les vignes de Sancerre virent au cuivre, et les chemins de la forêt d’Orléans sentent la terre humide et le bois coupé.
Trois jours entre le fleuve et la Sologne. Des kilomètres de digues où l’on roule à deux de front en parlant de tout et de rien, des sous-bois de pins et de bruyère, des étangs qui apparaissent au détour d’un virage, et de petites routes de tuffeau qui filent de château en village.
Dix formats au choix, de 60 à 500 km, en gravel ou en route.
Chacun sa distance. Chacun sa vitesse. Chacun son aventure.
Ce que vous viens chercher ici, ce n’est pas un classement. C’est la lumière dorée de fin de journée sur le fleuve , le silence d’un chemin de forêt à l’aube, les visages que vous ne connaissiez pas au petit matin et qui vous attendent à l’arrivée, et cette fierté tranquille au moment de poser le vélo, les jambes lourdes et le sourire idiot.
Le reste, nous nous en occupons. Une trace dessinée avec soin, des ravitaillements, une assistance présente du premier au dernier kilomètre, et une équipe qui vous attend à l’arrivée, quelle que soit l’heure.
Viens comme vous êtes, avec le vélo que vous avez et l’envie qui vous anime. La Loire est large, les chemins sont doux, et il y a de la place pour tout le monde.
Il ne manque plus que vous. Les inscriptions sont ouvertes.
Choose your distance and terrain here, then continue to the ticket office. Select your ticket, fill in your details and pay there. Your selection here is not transferred automatically.
The organiser plans to send tracks to participants 10 days before the start and recommends registering at least 15 days ahead. Check your edition’s latest information before preparing your GPS.
Prepare your helmet, lights, GPS, phone and repair kit, plus food and water. Check the event rules and guide for the mandatory equipment and documents.
