CYCLING TRIPS

available throughout the 2009 Tour de France

We've listed all of our trips which include organized rides below. We pride ourselves in offering flexibility to accommodate various levels of cyclists. From the accomplished, performance cyclist looking to ride long rides through the mountains, to the more casual cyclist, each will find great pleasure and a sense of accomplishment in riding one of the several distances we offer daily.

Some of our trips include the possibility of riding an entire stage of the Tour. Some offer the option of riding more than one stage! Our typical longer distance will vary from about 65km to 150km depending on the terrain and our shorter distance from about 30km to 80km. We do not require you to choose to ride the longer or shorter distance throughout your trip. You may ride the "long ride" 2 days and the shorter one on the 3rd.... you can also skip the cycling entirely to rest on a day if you wish.

Nearly all of the trips listed below offer the incredible experience of being able to ride all (or the better part) of a Tour de France stage. Crossing the finish line on closed roads while thousands of fans cheer you on from the side of the roads, climb the official Tour de France podium and have your picture taken. This special day on the Tour ends with privileged access directly overlooking the finish line!

(the only trip which does not offer this feature is our Cycling Pyrenees trip... but we do have a Polka Dot Jersey Pyrenees trip which does!)

You've dreamed of a trip to the Tour de France; make it special!
