  • Test yourself on the world famous Col du Tourmalet
  • Finish in Barcelona - one of Europe's most vibrant cities!

Test yourself against the peloton on this epic Bordeaux to Barcelona cycle! Ride a total of 679km and climb up a total elevation of 13,303m over 9 testing days.  Riding from Southern France to the Catalan capital of Barcelona, you will tackle the mythical Pyrenees, the world famous Col du Tourmalet (at 2,115m the highest point of the ride) and traverse vineyards, gorges and roads made famous by the Tour de France and La Vuelta.

This is a very tough cycle ride perfect for those that have conquered the local hills and want to challenge themselves on the European circuit.  For those that have imagined what it must feel like follow in the pedal strokes of Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome, this is your opportunity to climb the same cols.
