More France routes - RiDE magazine July 2017

I find that the Ride routes provide a brilliant starting point, and from there I drag them around to take in roads more suited to me - :thumb
 
Seemed rude not to!

Went out last evening to avail myself of the same in my local branch of a nationwide paper seller only to find there's no routes book with it :mad:
None of the mags had a plastic bag over them either so some fecker's probably trying to sell them separately :rolleyes:
I'll have to look elsewhere...
 
Always relieved when my favourite area is left out.
 
Now for some constructive input :D The Millau, Rodez loop misses out a good route to the north west, the D901 past Salles La Source following the river. Something like this https://goo.gl/maps/a5Z5ZpDaWMH2

Take the time to stop at the top here:

That's how these things evolve - thank you. The D901's parallel to the D840 which is on the route - I favoured that one because (a) it was the one shown to me by one of my tame French road testers and (b) it's a flat-out hooner's road (ahem, I mean, a 90kph limit but with fewer villages) with a memorable climb after Valady. Not so much to see on it, though. I can save that info up for the next one and offer two options.

I wouldn’t class myself as tame Simon... (mock hurt face) ��✊
