UKC

Group of keen, fit but not competition cyclists are looking to organise a 4 day trip from the UK next June to ride the Tourmalet and add it to their list of French cols achieved over the last few years. Anyone living out there want to earn some money providing vehicle support, local advice and or accommodation/airport transfers?

In reply to Stairclimber:
Damn, I would do this kind of stuff if I didn't have to work. Je parle Francais as well.

As a matter of interest, how much would you be prepared to pay for that kind of support, airport to airport?

In reply to Stairclimber:
You could modify last years's Etape route to do a nice loop from Lourdes that takes in the Tourmalet and Hautacam:

If you want something longer, with more hills, then look at modifying the 2012 Etape Act 2, that takes in Aubisque, Tourmalet, Aspin and Peyresourde.

In reply to Stairclimber:
We had a great week in the Pyrenees last year with Chris & Helen at Pyractif, firmly recommended if you want the full package.

In reply to elliptic:

I'd second Chris and Helen and add Pyrenees Multisport as well who are just down the road. I'd ride it the other way to the tour this year as it is a truly lovely climb.

Cheers
