    I'd say it ranks pretty highly, if not THE best! Beautiful scenery, great roads, RESPECT for the cyclist all make this a fantastic area to get out on the bikes. Whether you're a serious kilometre-eating TdF contender, or a weekend enthusiast, here in the Loire we have it covered! I love cycling in the Loire, but then again I'm biased - I live here! ;)
