The ultimate sporting challenge, one week ahead of the pros!

Cycle the entire Tour de France route from Lille to Paris. Sporting challenges don’t come any bigger or better than this. You will tackle the flat, the mountains, the even bigger mountains, the beautiful and just-as-memorable bits in between, the time trials and the finale along the Champs Elysees. Surviving this gruelling challenge will give you a real insight into the life of a pro-rider. The sense of achievement from completing the Grand Loop challenge cannot be underestimated.

It’s the people who make it as well as the cycling and our Grand Loop peloton is known as being one of the most fun, most inclusive, least competitive groups around. The challenge is to make it to Paris and no matter whether you’re at the front of the pack or much further along, the respect for the goal is exactly the same. This is a huge challenge and we can’t wait to share it with you.
