MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Going to the Domaine de Dugny campsite near Blois next month.
Anyone been?
Any cycle routes in the area?
TDF passes by when were there!
I hope so as I will be there for the tour as well 🙂
Hmm - I'd have a wild stab in the dark that the "Loire à Vélo" might be in the Loire valley.

It's mostly fairly flat, so don't expect lots of off-road radness, but there's miles of good road riding, the scenery is beautiful, the chateaux are magnificent, and the wine is pretty damn good too.
Sologne forest is worth a gander, lots of unsurfaced tracks (like strada bianci). The woodland to the South of Blois centre has a selection of tracks in it too. A lot of tracks around Chambord too.
If you just want some light pootling then the Eurovelo route 6 runs the length of the Loire, on both it's route north towards Orleans and then as it arcs west out toward Nantes. Enjoy, it's a lovely area
Cheers
The TDF finishes and starts in Tours so hoping to see it 1 or 2 of those days
Thinking might just take the cyclocross bike
There was a thread on this from 9 months ago; search for Blois for all dates and it should come up. Some good stuff around St Nicholas de Bourgueil i posted up and further west plus a few leads for Blois area IIRC.
