Col Experience Cycle Tour
A 'Raid' is a multi day sporting challenge following one of various stunning mountain routes, originally designed by local cycling clubs in the 1950s.
They vary in length and intensity but all follow a similar idea; The route must be completed within a certain period and you must get your 'carnet' stamped en route to show your progress.
Successful Raiders receive a medal and certificate from the Cycling Club organisers. At Col Cycle Tours we support clients on their Raid Challenges and have reached an unsurpassed level of expertise that results in clients coming back to us again and again.
We have a range of Raid routes:`Pyrenees giving some of the best cycling that Europe has to offer and an excellent goal for any regular and fit cyclist. Please have a look at our individual holiday pages for more information and the opportunity to download our detailed trip notes.
Alpine Classic Cols -Poole Wheeler Cycle Club - Bespoke Trip - Confirmed 2023
Dates to Follow Closed Group
This road cycling itinerary has been carefully crafted so you can cycle the most scenic and challenging cols and stage endings that the Savoie Alps have to offer. Our tantalising circular route takes in all the classic Tour de France climbs: Cormet de Roselend, l’Iseran, Télégraphe, Col du Galibier, Alpe d’Huez, Croix-de-Fer and la Madeleine. Our Classic route starts as gently as the Alps allow, gradually cranking up the daily altitude gain from 1200 to 2100m during the week. Each day there are ‘optional extras’ increasing the possible daily ascent to over 2600m, thus making this holiday suitable for those looking to really push themselves and do the Classic Cols Challenge. It is ideal for mixed ability groups or couples.
