Level: Riding Level (Click for legend) (4 to 5 out of 5)    Challenging - Demanding

Trip Difficulty: Challenging
You enjoy cycling long distances and challenging climbs: you are a real cyclist. You would love to climb the Mont Ventoux, the cyclists' Everest. You will cycle from 49 km to 98 km a day, with lots of hill work, sometimes quite steep.

GPS & Travel Kit
We will send you the GPS files for your trip via email, before the start of your holiday. You will have to bring your own device whether it is a Garmin GPS or a Smartphone with the files already downloaded.
Your Travel Kit containing road book & vouchers will be sent to the first accommodation of the trip. The road book contains technical description of the itinerary, 1: 100 000 scale maps integrated in the book with itinerary traced out, contact listing and helpful recommendations (restaurants, museums, vineyards, craftsmen, where to find a bank machine…).

Equipment
If renting a bike with us, your bike is delivered at your accommodation on Day 1 with all the necessary equipment ( helmet, bike lock...).

No matter the kind of bike chosen for your holiday, if you borrow a bike through us, you will get the following items for your tour:
• helmet > our regular “helmet head tour” is 54cm > 58cm. If you need a larger helmet, please contact us
• security vest
• pump
• one inner tube and repair kit per two bikes
• bike computer
• front pannier
• two side panniers
• water bottle holder
• one lock per two bikes

Road Bike - extra cost
You can choose the full road bike option (carbon or aluminium) with a supplement. This kind of bike is highly recommended for people who decide to do a challenging cycling tour with jaunt distances of around 100km per day. The road bike is ultra-light and its frame is made entirely of aluminium or carbon and designed to accomplish the ultimate performances.
We recommend the full carbon bikes only for those used to riding them. Though sleek and light, the bikes sacrifice comfort for speed, they’re more difficult to handle, and they’re not really meant to stop every 10km to visit villages.
Our Cannondale (Synapse Carbone 105 Triple plateau or equivalent) are equipped with Shimano parts (Gearing: compact crank 2 rings 34x50 with 11x32 rear cogs > 22 speed).

Automatic shoes
You can choose to ride a road bike with or without automatic shoes If you choose to bring your own automatic shoes, you must also bring  your pedals and the tools to fasten them on the bike.
Keep in mind that wearing automatic shoes is not really recommended for sightseeing. If you are planning to stop and visit places along your ride they are not very comfortable to walk in.

Bring your own bike
If you are bringing your own bike, make sure to also bring panniers, map holder, a bike computer and all of the other necessary equipment (inner tube, repair kit, pump, helmet).
