Starting from Place Emma Calvé, after a warm-up "for fun" with a tribute to the 150th anniversary of Millau station, a coincidence in the mobility calendar, which fell on the same day, the peloton slowly gained momentum.

Around the market halls, before a succession of boulevards (Sadi-Carnot, Bonald, Saint-Antoine…) to end up passing on the quai Sully Chaliès: a 3-kilometer route.

With, beyond the escapade, a fundamental subject: the future greenway expected between Millau and Aguessac. The In’VD association recalled that it had launched a petition that had already collected more than 800 signatures. Yannick Douls, municipal councillor delegated to mobility who represented Mayor Emmanuelle Gazel on a trip to Paris for Aveyron en Seine, gave assurances that the project, after technical discussions with the SNCF, should be completed in 2026.
