Wide Open Roads Cycle Events Bike Pyrenees Cyclomundo Laura: I look forward to any feeback that comes your way; I'm maintaining a list of tour companies that are running tours during the '04 Tour de France, and you've got a couple that I don't know about. If interested in seeing what I've got so far, you can check out the gateway page for info on France on our website- www.ChainReaction.com/france.htm --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.comk |

No experience with those providers; try Le Vieux Moulin. A different and
delightful experience at very reasonable cost. I have done many trips both self contained and with groups; this was different and one of the best. andrew "Laura" wrote in message m...

They come up for me pretty easily on GOogle. The only glitch is that
Wide Open Road doesn't have an 's' on the end. I looked at many many companies & have come up with these for routing(Pyrenees, Provence or Alps, not chasing the TDF, but possibly viewing a stage), longer mileage (it seems like many companies average 30-40 miles per day & we like to do about double that), and cost. We also enjoy camping along the way but are not glued to that idea. I'd be happy to hear of other companies besides the ones below that might fit the bill? I am currently checking the ones that Mike at Chain Reaction has posted on his website. Wide Open Road does 2 week camping tours Bordeaux to Alps Cycle Events does an Alps, a Pyrenees, and a 'Best of France' all about 10-12 days camping with hotel options Bike Pyrenees does basehouse style as well as a Pyrenees Atlantic to Mediterranean Cyclomundo does self guided Ventoux to Alps While they all have good to great websites, and most have responded to emails quickly and professionally, I'd really like to hear from anyone who may have ridden with any of them just to get a feel for tone of the trip, routing, food & accommodations quality as advertised etc. - I'm representing a small group of cyclists and don't want to be responsible for a disaster.

I highly enjoyed my week with Frank at Le Vieux Moulin but it doesn't sound like the kind of experience the op is looking for.... |

Very reasonably priced. Great camp in Rosas area (near Girona), Spain. You should speak French. Laura wrote: I have been researching some tour companies in France.

I'm afraid I can't comment on the companies you've listed. My brother and I
did the last week of the 2002 TdF with Velosport. They put us up in a first rate hotel for several days in the Alps and provided us with superb viewing in Paris (the Hotel Crillon) and access to the team area (hobnobbing with the Posties et al.). All this for a reasonable price as these tour outfits go. You sound like a serious cyclist so you'd like their cycling itineraries (40-60+ miles a day, including HC and cat 1 climbs).
