This will be a private tour of 6 or less using panniers
this is to scope out a tour for 2027 pre PBP
The time to start thinking about 2027 is now. Get yourself in shape. The 2027 tour will be a prelude to the 2027 PBP, this will be a time to get your self over the top in training. If you are not doing the PBP you can still join us on a tough two week adventure over some of the great climbs in the alps. In two weeks we will only be doing 670 miles but 11,300 feet of climbing. We will be doing less than 60 miles per day but making up with doing some of the greatest climbs.
The tour will encompass 4 cities and provide luggage handling between cities . Bike boxes will be stored in Grenoble for the duration of the tour. I have personally rode everyone of these loops and loved everyone. More details are to come.
I will be riding this area this year and talking to the Hotel owners to determine any problems we may encounter.
