10 days cycling, 1 rest day, approx 1661km
See how the pros roll! Ten full stages where history is made provide a challenge you’ll remember for a long, long time.
Feel what it’s like to ride day after day just like your pro heroes with everything that’s good about cycling in France packed into this Loop.
You’ll experience ten days of perfect tarmac, sunny roads, plenty of climbs, and big, open countryside. Regional differences and contrasting scenery wait around every corner and then you get Nice for a once-in-a-lifetime Tour finish. Work will feel miles away!
The 2024 Second Half is climb-heavy but no two mountain stages will feel the same. From the bucket-list Tourmalet to the six ski station stage finishes and the bonkers Cime de la Bonette, you’ll experience sporting and emotional highs and lows, with all the pride that comes from completing such an incredible challenge.
Note: Nice friends and family places are available for anyone who’d like partners or friends to join them for the last two nights and celebration party.
