Saturday 16th to Saturday 23rd August 2008

Updated for 2008!

After the success of our Alps Bike Week, we have introduced the Pyrenees Bike Week, which will be based in the Spa town of Bagneres de Bigorre at the beautiful and peaceful Hotel Residence. We have found the area to be fantastic for cycling and offers a huge range of rides, suitable for all abilities.
For those who want to ride the climbs there are plenty to choose from as the Col du Tourmalet, Col d’Aspin, Col du Peyresourde, Col d’Aubisque, Luz Ardiden, Hautacam, Val Louron are all within easy daily cycling distance from our base. For those who want more gentle cycling then there is the beautiful valleys or easy rides to the north of Bagneres.
