En Pays Charolais (BRM 200 km) - Roanne 2027

En Pays Charolais is a 200 km BRM ride starting from Maison du Port in Roanne, with riders setting off between 7 and 8 in the morning. It is a medium-rated ultra-distance cycling event, with 2,157 meters of climbing and the same amount of descending, making it long without being an extreme mountain day. The route uses a mix of roads and greenways through the countryside of the Loire and Saone-et-Loire departments. Castles and monuments are visible along the way, giving the ride local character beyond a simple distance challenge. Entry is lower for FF Velo license holders than for non-licensed riders, and a meal is provided at the finish.
