Ariégeoise Cyclosportive Who is it for? There are 3 courses available so this cyclosportive really caters for everyone: L'Ariégeoise 164.5km – Make no mistake, this is a tough cyclosportive which can be made even more challenging if the weather is hot. La Mountagnole 106km – Not as arduous as the Ariégeoise but still challenging although participants tend to be more laid back and have time to enjoy the carnival atmosphere. A good last minute training ride for anyone entered in the Etape de Tour. La Passéjade 70km – A randosportive rather than a cyclosportive, this course is really for those new to cycling with very little altitude gain.What are the benefits? Taking part in a cyclosportive can be used as part of your training schedule or simply as a goal in itself. By staying at the Auberge de l'Arac beforehand you'll get a chance to recce the route with an experienced Ariégeoise rider and have the entrance and registration formalities taken care of for you. If you're thinking of riding the Ariégeoise alone, then you'll also have other people to talk it over with when you've finished! Accommodation? Because we keep group sizes small, everyone is accommodated in their own room in the Auberge in a choice of either en-suite accommodation or, for those on a budget, rooms with showers and sinks but shared toilets. What's included? Long Weekend We also strongly suggest that you have appropriate insurance for an activity holiday which includes cycling and advocate wearing a helmet (mandatory for the Ariégeoise Cyclosportive) when out on the bike. When? Dates 2009: 7 Night Option: From €500 per person |
