Weekends in April

During April we start heading into the Vercors.

The gentle gradients are ideal at this stage of the season. The roads are quiet and the twisting descents are an ideal terrain for practicing your skills and boost your confidence.

Here's how a weekend might go:

Friday: Arrive at Grenoble or Valence station and transfer to St.Nazaire-en-Royans. Either assemble your bike or get fitted to your hire bike and have a short loosening up ride before dinner.

Saturday: Head north along the Isere valley and do two gentle climbs. The blossom will be appearing on the trees and flowers line the side of the roads.

Sunday: Climb one of the gorges for a tour of the Vercors National Park. This can be a great time to ride here as there is still snow on the peaks and spring flowers in the forests and fields.

Monday: A short ride in the hills to the west of the Isere valley before a quick lunch and you return home.
