A FIRST ROUND AT ROC LAISSAGAIS

It was on a 71 km course with 1,200 m of elevation gain that the fifty or so participants inaugurated the 2022 Gravel’Tour Cannondale season at Roc Laissagais. A route completed in the snow through the Grands Causses and the Palanges forest. A magical atmosphere in early April that delighted participants but also made the terrain technical.

AFTER THE SNOW, THE SUN!

It was the second time that the Cyclo Sud Bourgogne offered a Gravel course included in the Gravel’Tour Cannondale program. Under mild, spring-like weather, participants were able to discover the charm of the Clunisois region and its winding trails through classified appellations.

WHAT’S NEXT?

This Saturday, April 30, meet on the Gravel course of the Lozérienne Cyclo in La Canourgue. A 65 km route with 1,400 m of elevation gain that takes participants to discover the most beautiful spots in Lozère such as the Gorges du Tarn and the Point Sublime. The most courageous can swap their Gravel bike for a road bike and participate in the cyclosportive the next day.
