GFNY kicks off from Cannes La Bocca, dividing into two separate routes, depending on if you’ve opted for the long or medium course. Competitive pros on the long route will ride among honeypot villages and through awe-inspiring nature before meeting the medium route, as non-competitive riders to pass the paradise-worthy Lake Saint Cassien.
