2012 Marmotte Sportive Entry Packages with Guaranteed Entry!!!!!
|
Once again, summer 2012 will see our highly popular trips based around this legendary cyclo sportive, La Marmotte 2012. It is rated as the hardest sportive in the French Alps, at a distance of 174km and 5000m of climbing, including Col de Glandon, Col de Galibier, Col de Telegraph and finishing at Alpe d'Huez. So be prepared for a challenge!!! La Marmotte Sportive Weekend: sorry, this trip is now full. After being picked up from Lyon (LYS) airport at the allocated time, you will be transferred to a great chalet on Alpe d'Huez, where you will be catered for throughout the weekend. After a gentle spin on Friday to loosen those legs, collecting your race numbers and an early night, it's all out for the big day on Saturday, so good luck!! On Sunday you have the option to attack the Alpe d'Huez climb again, by taking part in Le Grimpe time trial additional entry cost), or have a more chilled day in the mountains. Your legs might need it!! On Sunday at 1130am you will be transferred back toLyon (LYS) airport and head home, with plenty of tales to tell we are sure. |
