Vitré > Vitré 175km A lovely race in the French Cup on Easter weekend. It’s a race which is two lap circuits, one big and one small, but the small one uses most of the same roads the big one uses too. It’s usually fairly attritional, 2400m of climbing is relatively tough but it can still be won by a sprinter.
