If you will be in the area for the race, and think that you would like to try the route on your own this year, keep an eye on the Discussion Pages to see if others might want to try it also. Just keep in mind that the route will be closed on the 19th and 22nd. After the Tour departs from Pau on the 24th, we will most likely explore the Tarn Gorges area for a couple of days, and take it easy for the rest of the week before flying out of Lyon for home on the 29th. Keep in mind that we always have a loose bunch that travels more or less together. Because we stay at campgrounds, we can be very flexible with our itinerary.
People come and go.
Keep in touch, as we would like to hear what kind of plans others are making. Paris is a beautiful city, but since there are so many other more scenic, and more challenging places to ride, Paris will not be on our agenda. Don't let that deter you, if that's what you have in mind. Keep in touch for further details of this trip and others. If you think you'll be going, by all means, e-mail us, or visit the Discussion area and let us and others know what you think about this sort of trip.
