65 - The Three Bridges
Start: Montregard
This route is technical because of its succession of difficulties and is aimed at experienced riders. The first third, as far as Dunières, goes by quickly; after that it is hillier and in places very technical, as far as the Pont de Raucoules (km 23, alt. 665 m). You will need to have kept some strength in reserve to complete the second part, which climbs back to the start.

The feel of the route
The Velay Express:
Travel aboard a train from days gone by, where all your senses will be awake. Along the route your body will be lulled by the slow rhythm of the trains of old, your sense of smell will be overwhelmed by charcoal and your hearing will react to every blast of the whistle. If you can't wait to discover all this, meet at Raucoules, Oumey station, for a journey towards Tence, Le Chambon-sur-Lignon and Saint-Agrève. Off you go on a bucolic journey!
