This summer will be all about cycle touring! Numerous cycle touring events are taking place all over France this summer, whether for large numbers of cycle tourists enjoying their holidays to indulge in their favorite pastime, or long-distance fanatics aiming to push their limits in individual and collective adventures.
Throughout June and July, the “Cyclomontagnardes” events bring together hundreds of amateurs over two days, every weekend, to tackle a series of the most legendary mountain passes in the Alps and Pyrenees.
