3 Days cycling. approx 400 km
The first three stages of the 2026 Tour will provide seriously fun cycling (the perfect mix of flat’n’fast and woah-that’s-a-climb), guaranteed sunshine, lots of Tour history and that holiday feeling…
The first few stages of the Tour are always a unique occasion, and in 2026 it’ll be a sunny send-off in Barcelona…
But this Loop definitely isn’t just one city; this is a chance to ride through the fascinating countryside of Catalonia and then across the northern border into France; past roman ruins, red-roofed traditional architecture, 11th century fishing ports with links to Arab trade and big, beach resorts where all you’ll think of is ice cream… to a finale in France, having crossed the Pyrenees and the French border with a smile on your face and the sun in the sky.
You’d never get this from a normal holiday! It’s a unique and very accessible weekend of Tour cycling. We’d love you to join us!
