Hi
This summer I'd like to spend some time riding in the French Alps and, if possible, see one or more
stages of the TdF. My current plan is to fly to the Alps on Friday the 11th or Saturday 12th of July
and come back the following weekend. I hope to catch a train from Lyon to Grenoble, ride to Bourg
d'Oisans and the climb the Alpe the following day to see the stage from the top. To anyone who's
attempted such a trip, how does this sound?
What are the chances of finding accomodation for the night before and after the stage?
Can anyone recommend any other good cols or rides to follow for a few days before returning home? I
should be travelling fairly light and hope to be able to ride 80 - 100 miles a day.
Thanks for any help,
Mark
