My Wife and I start are first tour in France next weekend, getting dropped off by the Euro Bike Express at Orange on 18th July and pick up is Macon on 1st Aug.
We'll be tenting it most of the time I think as we allways do in Scotland so carrying plenty of kit but we have a good level of fitness through the dark art of timetrialling! Looking forward to some of these big climbs evryone talks about.
We've no idea of a route but thought perhaps we'd have a go at Mont Ventoux after getting dropped off and have considered the grand alpes traverse but need to make it to Macon for the bus at the end of two weeks.
If anyone has any experience and suggested good routes or areas we'd be very glad of the advice.
Many thanks,
Richard & Vicki
