L'ARIEGEOISE

International-level cyclosportive. Over 4,000 participants expected between Tarascon-sur-Ariège and Les Cabannes via the Ariège passes, Croix des Morts, Pailhères and Chioula. Four routes (from 69 km to 169 km): this year there's even the Ariègeoise XXL! Most of the three routes take place in the Pays d'Olmes, crossing the Plantaurel massif, the foothills of the Ariège Pyrenees. The 153 km Ariegeoise course has gone down in history as "La cyclosportive des Pyrénées". The finish is at Les Cabannes. The total vertical drop is 3,128 m!
