2009 Etape du Tour!
The 2008
edition was yet another great success and we've started accepting
registrations for 2009. Where the Etape will be held is anyone's
guess, however after 3 of the past 4 editions taking place in the
Pyrenees, it is likely that it will not be in this mountain range. So
Alps perhaps? Or another mountain range?

UK and European cyclists;
The US dollars is at
all-time lows vs. your currency. Take advantage of the favorable
exchange rate!
We have started
accepting registrations for our 2008 Etape du Tour trips and encourage
you to book as early as possible, given the high demand. The stage
chosen in 2008 is stage #10 linking Pau to Hautacam.
We are particularly happy with this Etape
as the climbs are great classics; col du Tourmalet - Hautacam and the
logistics make for a more relaxed Etape.
| All of our
trips include : |
- hotels are extremely well located in Pau within
walking/riding distance of the start of the race and the Etape
village
- private Feed/Water
station
- Guaranteed entries |
| Many trips
include: |
- opportunity to have a "special
needs" bag at the feedzone, so you will be able to have exactly
what you want and are used to on course
- Picnic lunch on course for
non-cycling spouses.
- private meet-point / feedzone at the
arrival |
