Les Trois Cols materiel-velo.com - La Tour-de-Salvagny

Les Trois Cols materiel-velo.com begins and ends at the Parc des Sports in La Tour-de-Salvagny, near Lyon, with participants riding into the Monts du Lyonnais. This May cycling event is designed for mass participation, offering timed cyclosportives of 97 km and 140 km, alongside untimed randonnées of 56 km, 97 km, and 140 km. The cycling takes place entirely on public roads or roads open to normal traffic, providing a sense of a significant day on actual local roads rather than a closed-circuit race. The shorter route offers an accessible option for casual riders, while the two longer routes cater to cyclists seeking a more demanding mountain-country challenge. TAC Cyclo organizes the event, and its extensive history is notable: it is past its fortieth edition and is recognized by the organizer as the oldest event of its type in France.
