2026 - A to B Rides Only

This is a great route, mostly on bicycle trails and lesser trafficked streets. The bulk of the ride is along the Canal Latéral à la Garonne.

Overall, this is a great route through really nice countryside. D959 north from Montauban was very good road. Not much road shoulder, but traffic was pretty light. From St-Romain until getting onto D820, we were mostly on great country roads. Perfect riding with nice scenery. D820 into Cahors was p…

Great ride today on a variety of roads. The only heavily trafficked road is D811 getting out of Cahors. The rails-to-trails pathway getting close to Sarlat was excellent.

This was a great route with plenty of low-traffic roads. D60 had a great road surface and little traffic as well. Only D1089 had a lot of traffic...and some rough shoulder. As it appears that the road was still under some improvements, perhaps the shoulder will be improved as well. The climb out o…

Challenging ride in first part on paved but sometimes a little rough single track with two terrible climbs requiring pushing the bikes…with great difficulty with our heavy panniers. Rest of the ride was on good low-traffic arterials. D8, D720, and D803 were all fine. Part of D803 had outstanding ro…

This was a fantastic route. Until getting close to Aurillac, these were all zero traffic very nice roads with nice scenery, that got much better after crossing from the Lot into the Cantal. With the exception of some steeper slopes on the climb into Aurillac, pretty much all the climbing had not-u…

This was a wonderful ride on all zero and low-traffic roads. Even D920, the long downhill at 7% into Entraygues-sur-Truyère had virtually now traffic. Due to my wife's various aches and pains, we did the easy long descent on D920 instead of a likely more interesting, but longer approach to Entrayg…

With one exception, this was an outstanding route on all low or zero traffic nicely scenic roads. The one exception was the several kilometers spent on D994, which had zero shoulder and plenty of fast moving traffic. If one can avoid D994, it would be great to do so. This ride was mostly very flat…

This was a challenging route with plenty of ups and downs. The climb from Cransac on the road to Firmi was particularly steep, and with our heavy baggage, it was quite an effort. If you don't like steep climbs, you might want to find a route that avoids this climb. With the exception of when we we…

Great ride on low and zero-traffic roads. Only some traffic when getting into Villefranch. All climbs were pretty manageable despite our heavy panniers.

This was a great ride on virtually all zero and low-traffic roads. Nice scenery, and some challenging climbs, especially the climb from Laguépie, half of which we did in a heavy rain. The only portion that had a some traffic was D91 close to and within Carmaux. We highly recommend this ride.

This was a very short and easy ride, especially due to its being mostly downhill or flat. Most of the roads on this ride are either low traffic or have bicycle lanes.
