The ultimate sporting challenge, one week ahead of the pros!
Cycle the entire Tour de France route from Copenhagen 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 time trial and the finale into Paris. 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.
