ROUTE
It is 68 km long.

* If you have a GPS, remember to download it the day before the event to benefit from the very latest version in case of last-minute modifications (roadworks or other). If you don’t have one, it’s not a problem as the organizer will be there to guide you.

SAFETY
This is the ABSOLUTE priority and the organizer invites everyone to respect traffic lights, stop signs, and all traffic laws. Extreme caution in urban areas, but also throughout the rest of the route.
Rules for riding well in a group on road sections:
– Ride in a compact peloton: this prevents overtaking cars from having to pull back in every 10 meters.
– Ride a maximum of 2 abreast, and it’s much better to ride in single file.
– Hold your line. Hold your line. And hold your line!
– Signal obstacles by voice and hand.
– Signal cars by voice “car ahead” and “car behind”.
– Stop at traffic lights and stop signs and be extra vigilant when the route crosses busy roads.
– Do not hesitate to correct anyone who does not respect these rules.
Emergency number if you are a victim or witness of an accident: 18
ECOLOGY
Zero point zero waste in nature on the Classics Challenge!
Please do not throw anything on the route. Absolutely nothing. Energy bar wrappers. Gels. Used inner tubes. Keep everything in your jersey pocket until the first trash can or until the finish.
