Watching Lance Battle for an Eighth Win at the 2009 Tour de France!

Watching the Tour de France is always an unforgettable experience, but this year's Tour de France trip offered that and more: A chance to watch Lance attempt to make history with his eighth victory, and watch the comeback of cycling's best. If you've ever regretted not seeing Lance ride in previous Tours, that was your chance! Challenge yourself to 14 of the best Alps' climbs and watch three Tour stages - including a mountaintop finish on the infamous Mt. Ventoux.

This Tour de France-Alps trip allows you to experience all the Tour excitement, without the hassle- no long car rides or parking necessary, since we're close enough to ride to the action. The hotels we select are conveniently close to the Tour route and are a perfect starting point for 14 epic Alps climbs, including Alpe d'Huez, Col du Galibier, Col du Telegraphe, Mt. Ventoux and more! You'll watch the last three decisive stages of the tour- the individual time trial in Annecy, the mountain stage finish at Le Grand-Bornand and the epic stage finishing on top of Mt. Ventoux- and put your legs to the test on many of the classic Tour climbs! You can't beat the feeling you get from conquering these colls.

The riding may be challenging, but the accomodations are welcome and comfortable. You can relive the highlights of the day's ride over a "recovery" beer or espresso at a local cafe, then refuel with a delicious group dinner featuring the area's fantastic cuisine and wine. Our small group size allows us to choose restaurants that the locals favor so you get a true taste of the region.

Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime event! Contact us today to join us for an unforgettable guided cycling tour and experience that offers a perfect balance of Tour action and riding.
