Bike races Loire

The Black Woods Mountain Mountain Bike Area and the Black Woods Mountain Club organize every year, every last Sunday in June, the Bois Noir Oxygen whose starting point travels within Space over the years. It is a hike that breaks into several circuits with a raid of about 75 km and several courses for all levels, different from year to year, 15, 25 and 35 km.

Vélocio has been around for over 100 years. Several routes are on offer, ranging from 30 to 95 km. On the program: on closed roads, a 12 km climb in modo chrono or a hike uphill. The program attracts around a hundred cycling enthusiasts, who set off on the slope of the famous Col de la République, at the summit of which stands a monument to the memory of Paul de Vivie (1853-1930), a leading figure in French cycle touring nicknamed... Vélocio. This event is open to all - some participants are over 80 years old! Come as you are, trained or not, retro or not, on a bike, a unicycle or an electric bike - the only thing that counts is good humor. So saddle up!
