Venture Ride 2012

The French Alps

Cardiff - Alps - Cardiff -26 August - 10th September 2012 - Fully subscribed!

No more entries accepted sorry.

Team Leader - Martin Pingle

Support Driver - Roger Hall

 This 2 week long venture ride will be one of the biggest challenges for our riders! The current planning has reached the stage where no more entries are accepted although a reserve list will be maintained should any current riders have to drop out.

The route will take in some of the most famous Cols from the Tour de France but still allow time off should riders opt out from a cycling ride. However the expectation is for riders to cycle most of the route. Baggage will be handled by the well known support driver Roger Hall who will provide his usual high standard to cyclist needs. The accumulative height gain of all the major climbs is about 55,500ft - only twice the height of Everest! Accumulative distance for whole ride is approx. 516 miles.

Transport will be by hired minibus and start from and return to Cardiff.
