Tour Info

 

The Tour
 
Each participant can cycle the stages at his/her own pace. You can choose to cover the distance in a more or less relaxing way with exploring the local villages, photo stops at every chosen moment or a well deserved break on a terrace. Alternatively, you can try to cover the distance as fast you can.
 
We advise you to bring a GPS which has the option to upload files. It is a very helpful device to find the correct way without looking at detailed maps or an overload of instructions.
 
Support Vehicles
 
The journey is supported by two vehicles. One vehicle brings the luggage and kitchen equipment to the next place, so you don't have to carry luggage on your bike. The other vehicle gives support on the road and provides a lunch half way the stage.
 
The cyclists who are not able to ride, or cannot finish the stage, have always the possibility to take a seat in one of the support vehicles. We will take care that everyone arrives at the finish location before the evening. 
 
Food
 
We provide on cycling days an extensive breakfast ( bread, cereals, fruit ) and halfway the stage a tasty lunch is waiting for you. In addition, we will take care that you can recover with an extra meal ( soup, bread, fruit ) after finishing the stage and that you always have sufficient water and sport drinks.

The cook of Bike-Dreams prepares in campsites a delicious dinner full of carbohydrates and all nutrients your body needs. There is of course a spot at the dinner table for a couple of bottles French wine to relax the tired muscles.

We don't serve dinner during the day that we stay in a hotel in Pau. Next to that we don't serve food at the rest days. These days give you the opportunity to explore the local cuisine.
 
Accommodation
 
The majority of the nights we camp in well equipped campsites. At several campsites you have the possibility to rent a bungalow or site caravan at own expense.
The night before the start and the night after the finish near Strasbourg, plus the two nights in Pau, you stay in a hotel.
 
Participants
 
The number of participants is limited due to organizational reasons. For people from all over the world it is possible to sign up for the tour. 

The tour is open for men and women with an age between 16 and 67. Everyone with a good health and passion for cycling can finish the journey in a normal way.  
 
Non-Cyclists
 
It is an option to join as non-cycling participant, which means that you can take a seat in one of the support vehicles. You make the same journey as the cycling participant, it's only not on the bike.

You can help the other crew with shopping, prepare the lunch halfway or help in the kitchen; but first of all : you must enjoy the journey. We will not asked you to help. It's all up to yourself if you want to help. We prefer that all participants ( and especially the non-cyclists ) visit the local towns and villages where we stay, in stead of chopping carrots.

The registration and Entry Fee is similar as for cyclists.
