Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This route begins with almost an entire loop of the R.G.V. route, but it turns left near the end, heading toward the start pens instead of the finish line. This takes you uphill to climb the backside of the Petit KOM (a key climb in a race) before a left-hand turn onto the Petit KOM’s descent.
After a right at the next fork, we’re back on the road we started with, in the opposite direction. That means we’ll hit the Aqueduc KOM and Pavé Sprint before passing Mont Saint-Michel and the lighthouse and heading into the marina for a Marina Sprint.
Then it’s along the twisty river road with hot air balloons floating in the sky, where we’ll hit the Ballon sprint.
Next we turn right onto the Petit KOM – the longest climb of this route. Finish the climb, descend past the starting pens, and finish with one more Marina Reverse Sprint.
