Friends who run cycling holidays and with whom we can organise dual-centre trips.
Veloventoux : As the name suggests Craig and Vicky provide excellent accommodation close to Mont Ventoux. Excellent cycling in the surrounding valleys and some rather drinkable wines are available locally to help you forget about those aching legs.
King of the Mountains : Guy and Helyn run a small outpost close to Alpe d'Huez. Great food and a fine selection of home made cakes help prevent too much weight loss.
Tour des Cols : A superb three stage alpine cyclosportive from Geneva to Alpe d'Huez. 21 - 25 August 2008. Stages of 122km, 155km and 123km makes it accessible to most cyclosportive riders. Operated by Yellow Jersey Adventures.
