“Skinny” Dave, The Tour in the Pyrenees with Stuart Hall Cycling, July 2015
What’s not to love about a trip to the Pyrenees to watch the Tour come through?
I’ve been to Mallorca with Stu several times over the last five years and had a good idea of what to expect from this holiday. Namely, a well organised trip with a group of like-minded individuals, all with a shared interest of all things bike.
We stayed in an authentic French country house on the Tour route from which we made our own forays into the Pyrenees and the cols that awaited us. In the end, we rode 6 of the Tour Pyrenean cols including the Col d’Aspin. If you’ve never experienced theTour caravan coming over the hill you haven’t lived!
Stu provides great and knowledgable guides that look after you on any of the rides you choose to take and at the end of the day you come home to good food and camaraderie at the wonderful base camp. Talk about gear ratios, past glories, or just nonsense, over a local beer or two.
Everything is looked after for you; flights, transfers,accommodation.
A great way to see, and ride, the Pyrenean stages of theTour.
