Our rides have been carefully researched and tested
to get the most enjoyment out of the days cycling.
What i'm trying to say is that I have stolen the best rides from
the local cycling club! but dont tell anybody. (Thanks Nyons CT
if your reading this)
Like any physical activity, the fitter you are the more you will
enjoy it. We like our clients to have a reasonable level of fitness
but remember you don’t need to have completed Lance
Armstrong’s fitness programme to enjoy our days out.
(it will help you get up Mt. Ventoux though)
Dont worry, some of our tours are
designed for those people who are a little more interested in the
odd cafe stop or three rather than getting as many kilometres on
the clock as you can.
Out of a 7 day stay we like to offer you 4 or 5 organized
rides interspersed with rest days or days where you can
just chill-out and do your own thing, the emphasis being on flexibility.
Road Biking..
Just mentioning the word Ventoux can send shivers down the spine
of the keenest road biker! You cant deny the obvious challenge offered
by “The Giant” but cycling in Northern Provence is much
more than pounding up one 5000ft climb.
We have fantastic rides to the south through the
spectacular Gorges De Nesque and through the beautiful scenery of
The Luberon and Vacluse. To the north there is
the challenging Col De Perty and the beautiful Toulourenc Gorge
with fantastic views of the steep northern slopes of Mont Ventoux.
Cyclosportives..
For
fitter cylists or those who like to race a bit we have holidays
organised around the local cyclosportives. Click
here for more info on cyclosportives.
Mountain Biking..
The area has hundreds of kilometres of mouthwatering singletrack,
leafy woodland paths and dusty forest trails.
Each town in the area has a map of the local mountain bike trails
graded green, blue, red and black like ski pistes. Give us a call
for more details on the mountain-biking in the area.
Bike Hire
We have a small fleet of roadbikes for hire. Decent quality
roadbikes are hard to get hold of in this part of the world.
Ours are campagnolo and shimano equipped and are mostly sub 22lb
in weight.
Hire prices vary depending on the length of your holiday. Click
here for prices.
