BCS Relaxed - modified 2025 TdC BRONZE Cantonade

START TIME DELAYED TO 09:00

Continuing on the (not) Tour du Canton theme, this weeks ride is a modified version of the "bronze" event - the Cantonade. We pick up the route on the Voie Verte doing a counter-clockwise loop through Chêne-Bougeries, le Bout-du-Monde, Troinex, Croix-de-Rozon, to Veyrier (coffee stop - thanks Michael for the recommendation!), and back via Pouplinge, Choulex, and Vandoeuvres before dropping down to the lake.

There are lots of twists and turns on this route (some of which have been removed) - but this is one where downloading it to your phone/bike computer could be very beneficial.

The "canicule" is over and weather prospects for Saturday are mixed. The good news is that there are lots of places where we can shorten the route and head back - however, it may be time to "be prepared" and have a rain-proof covering handy.
