The La Poco Loco Dijon - Freiburg begins in Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, and sends cyclists into a 700 km gravel mountain race through Bourgogne-Franche-Comte. It is scheduled for mid-September and is for riders seeking a long off-road challenge instead of a short sportive or a road race.
The route uses steep trails and mountain terrain, with the Jura mountains as the main setting. The start area provides riders easy access to Dijon’s old streets, the Palace of the Dukes and Estates of Burgundy, and the wine country around the Cote de Nuits; Beaune and its Hospices are less than an hour away for anyone staying in the region after the ride.
