2h 15
Easy
Departure from Montolieu (Aude)
This is a beautiful walk, but it is exposed to the wind and sun. The first kilometre is quite steep, but the next two kilometres are gentler.
Rough wooden signs engraved with "Circuit Saint-Roch" will guide you along the way, even if they are not very visible or legible...
Since 15 October 2018 and the floods, a lot of earth has been washed away from the paths and many of them have become very stony and rocky. However, the circuit remains entirely feasible.

Departure from Fraisse-Cabardès (Aude)
A short walk, sheltered from the sun and wind for almost the entire length as it is in the forest. It had been marked in blue for an event and these markings remain visible in 2016 – but for how long? In two places, we follow paths that are not shown on the IGN map. Hence the importance of following the Visorando route.

Departure from Villardonnel (Aude)
Petite balade autour du village durant laquelle vous allez souvent longer des murettes en pierres sèches. Les sentiers ont été creusés à flanc de colline et ces murettes ont été montées pour retenir la terre du fond dominant.
Nous sommes en 2016 et le tracé a été reconnu et identifié par des marques de couleur Rouge. Ces marques ne respectent pas la forme officielle de la FFR mais sont parfaitement visibles car assez larges. Cela n'est pas inutile car certains sentiers sont dans les champs.

Moderate
Departure from Bram (Aude)
Starting from the Circulade in Bram (a lovely warm-up ride through this unique and well-preserved heritage site), this route follows the path of an old railway line that once linked Bram to Mirepoix and Lavelanet, passing through the charming countryside of the Razès. The section between Bram and Mirepoix is fairly easy for all types of bike (a hybrid bike is best suited), and its high-quality surface is fairly new. However, thesecond section from Moulin Neuf to Lavelanet, which is older, is best tackled on a mountain bike.
