Mervent-Vouvant State Forest

Highlight • Forest

In terms of equipment, provide for those who want to make it a fast course a mountain bike adapted to breakage and quickly arriving and individual protections appropriate to your practice (knee pad elbow pad adapted helmet) certain portions can be very fast on road links and on land courses rockery and path In any case, this course is super and very technical on certain portions but remains affordable for an athlete of average level, the jersey will surely and certainly be soaked

Route along the Mère River in the Mervent-Vouvant Forest

Highlight • River

Pretty shaded road which crosses the national forest of Mervent-Vouvant. It runs alongside then crosses the Mother which brings a welcome freshness in summer.

Steep climb in Mervent — 21%

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Only a 500m climb but it averages 10% and peaks at 21% around the second bend. A great hill to attack full gas and beat the KOM.
