    The Tro Bro Léon 2012 on Google Maps

    The Tro Bro Léon is a kind of a bis repetita of Paris-Roubaix. Indeed, where the second part of the race route of the Hell of the North is full of cobble stones, in the Tro Bro Léon it's the ribins which make the race particular.

    The ribins? I hear you say ... yes, yes, the ribins (pronounce: reebeens) or ribinous are small paths crossing a field, either a sand path but often with gravel, which are part of the race route of this race. No less than 22 ribins are on the race route, one of which will be done 4 times in the laps on the local circuit around the finish city, over a total distance of 33.4 kilometers.

    The start and finish are in Lannilis, north of Brest. From there, the riders will first go towards the coast line to get to the real start of the race, in L'Aber Wrac'h. After the start they'll return to Lannilis and get to the intermediate sprint in Ploudalmézeau. They'll continue onto the ribins:

    > Download the Tro Bro Léon 2012 race route in Google Earth

    This file not only allows you to see the whole race route in Google Earth but also to do a virtual fly-over of it. In order to do so, you can use the default configuration as suggested by Google Earth, but if you prefer to do a fly-over which gives you the idea you're riding on the roads of the Tro Bro Léon 2012, I'd recommend you the following configuration: in the menu Tools > Options choose the tab Touring and fill in the following choices on that tab:
    - Camera tilt angle : 80.0 degrees
    - Camera range : 150.0 meters
    - Speed : 500.0 (if this makes you feel dizzy or if your computer or Internet connection don't allow you to get clear images with these settings, you can try lowering the speed)
