Challenges / Long Distance Rides (Randonees) 2010
Our Cycling
Challenges holidays are a series of "Raids",
such as the Raid
Pyreneen and Raid
Alpine.
You
are provided with a "carnet" which must be stamped
at pre-determined points to
prove you have completed the Raid.
These are then returned by us to the organisers
after which you will receive a medal for your efforts.
A
van will carry your luggage each day from overnight stop to overnight
stop, and where possible act as a back up for serious mechanical
breakdowns.
Cycling
Challenges for 2010:
