CYCLING IN FRANCE AND CLIMBING DORMANT VOLCANOES

ROAD BIKES

This pituresque volcanic region is the ideal location for cycling. With winding country roads and million dollar views, you will be able to reach the summits of the region such as the Puy Mary (alt:1790m), and also recieve an intimate look at the typical french lifestyle of this region at the same time.

These cycling tours in our area will allow you to discover a maginificent view at all times. The Alpes or Pyrenees only offer you this once you arrive at the summit after 30km of climbing.

When you stay for one week you will be given up to 4 guided tours. The level of each ride conducted during your stay will be estimated according to your personal ability and needs. Rides will vary between 50 and 130 kms at a time. ( Minimum booking of 3 persons required for this option). In pure french cycling style, a car will follow you to the summits and offer you lunch and refreshments. This is only required for the 'long ride'. That being of 130km.

For those wishing to compete, there are amateur races conducted by the FFC and cyclosportives from March to the end of September *available in a 50km radius of the BED & BREAKFAST.

I stopped the competition in 1998 due to all the scandals about doping and i realised even if i was a good national rider i didn t have the capacitys to make a professionel that why i went in AUSTRALIA where i met my future wife RACHEL.
After spending 2 years without really tuching a bike i slowly went back to it in a more relax spirit and in january 2003 i even won a criterium in perth b grade.
Now i am going 2 or 3 times a week mixing road and mtb i hope to see you here to share my passion with you.
