Description: 500+ miles, the France portion is Mountain Goat and Spain is Rolling Hills
This is a Self-Guided Tour, there will be approximately 40 routes to choose from and route information will be released once the tour is booked. Rides will be on ride with GPS, you will pare up with riders of your speed and ability and enjoy the challenging terrain. There will be no ride leaders provided by the tour company. All registration and bike rentals are handled through Sierra Sports. There will be a choice of bikes based on components and electronic shifting or mechanical shifting. E-Bikes are available and you can add battery extension. While in France we will have a support vehicle that will provide mechanical assistance and can carry snacks and water. In an emergency they can sag a few people back. You will have the option to ride the bus on transfer days or ride to the next location. There will be options for things to do and see on non riding days. The final route will be available by the end of January. We hope to have final registration done by 1/22 or soon after. Invoices with final pricing will be sent during the week of 1/22/24. There will be 5 transfer days. The large bus and trailer will be available on those days only to save on the cost. We have room for only 4 bike boxes (for people bringing their own bikes) and 3 are reserved at this time. Breakfast and dinner are included in the trip price. Please note while in Spain dinner will be much later. That being said, breakfast and ride start times will also be later. This is subject to change if we have a full trip of 30 riders. We do have space for non-rider partners on the trip. As of 1/20 2024: we have 25 riders and 2 non-riders. 3 on the fence!
