it is self supported but trip of a lifetime
A chance to cycle the two most famous climbs in FRance with lots of other climbs it will be hard the climbing each day is at least 3000m.
It is early July if you want the route to do yourself I can easily tell you
Hi Mat,
Looks a challenge! Exact dates, who is organising it and how much? Could be interested in this one.
Thanks,
Graham Aveyard
We are organising it ourselves
Cost usually about £100 a day for accommodation and food. Plus travel. Self supported so carry own stuff. 5 days riding each day harder than most sportives
If problems need to sort yourself out.some days riding in 30 – 40 c then at top of mountain snow.
Need to sort travel out. Have to use sort bike bags & send to the end. Would need a few practice rides
Sort bike bag
Soft bike bag sorry keeps auto correcting soft to sort
Thanks Mat, but you forgot the dates. Can we meet to discuss more detail? (Travel / Kit etc) Are you on todays evening ride, we could talk then? If not suggest another time. I have a soft bike bag already. Graham
Mail me matgreener@yahoo.co.uk to ask more not out tonight

Total Distance: 669
Total climb: 13016
two hardest / most stressful days – travelling there & back
