Les Trois Montées 2020
Jun 6, 2020 at 7 AM – Jun 10, 2020 at 8 PM
This 5 day trip will take in 4 of the highest and most iconic Tour de France climbs. We will offer you first class support with a driver and a broom wagon available each day, supplying drinks, snacks and support/abuse as deemed necessary to help you up the climbs. You will also have a ride Captain out on the road with you at all times, to ride with, offer advice and maybe even share jelly babies. Anyone who has been on one of our trips before will tell you that we are all about creating fun events, lifelong friends and fantastic memories. We go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need, and to make sure you are safe, fed and happy at all times.
Tentative dates for the trip are 6th – 10th June 2020, this will be confirmed when the flights are released in November 2019.
Trip Itinerary:
Day 1
Fly from Bristol to Lyon
We will pick you up from Lyon airport and travel to our accommodation in Grenoble.
Quick cuppa, dump bags then get bikes ready to tackle our first climb….The Big One -Alpe d’Huez! 21 hairpins, each named after a former winner, reaching 1860 metres into the French Alpine sky.
We’ll meet you after the ride and head back to our accommodation. Grenoble is a fairly large town so there will plenty of options for dinner….and beers!
Day 2
Today is the The Doubler – 2 climbs! We’ll drive you over to the start of the first, the infamous Col de la Croix Fer, used 19 times in Le Tour and over 2000 metres of climbing. Once you’re up and over you’ll make your way round to the second climb, Col du Galibier at over 2600 metres! Nairo Quintana led over the top the last time the TdF stage was held here in 2019.
We can meet you at the top or if you’re feeling full of energy, the bottom!
We’ll then head back to Grenoble for dinner…and more beers!
Day 3
Rest day
There will be time in the morning to relax a little or head into Grenoble and check out the sights. The cable cars look worth a ride.
We’ll grab some lunch then make the drive over to Bedoin, the base of Mount Ventoux. There will be our now legendary, world famous quiz en route to keep you entertained.
Day 4
The long one….Mount Ventoux! Standing at just over 1600m (over 5000ft), don’t be fooled, this is a tough climb, with winds reaching an incredible 200mph at the top. Iban Mayo holds the record of just over 55 minutes, but we’ve got much longer than that for our attempt. We’ll be staying at the base so you can set off from our accommodation. We’ll meet you half way for a fuel stop. If you’e really feeling like a challenge then we can sign up for the Ventoux Club Des Cingles …. 3 times Ventoux in the same day, once from each side. You will receive a Certificate and become an honoured member of the crazies club! You’ll also deserve an extra beer!
Day 5
Depending on flight times, there should be time to relax in the morning before we make the drive over to Lyon, where you will fly back to Bristol. We’ll take your bikes and kit back for you to be re-united in a couple of days back in blighty.
We’ll sort breakfast each day and supplies for the fuel stops. You’ll just need money for lunch, dinner, extra trips…..and beers! Everything else is covered, flights, transfers, hotels, 2 staff, us taking your bike and kit by van.
All this for just £600, you can pay monthly instalments if that’s easier for you, we need a £200 deposit to secure your space.
We only have a few spaces left on this amazing trip so we strongly recommend you message us to confirm your space before it’s too late.
