Sir Bradley Wiggins won’t be defending his title at this year’s Tour de France thanks to an injury. But you don’t have to let the absence of the Team Sky rider (above) put you off from your own cycling holiday.
To celebrate this year’s 100th anniversary of Le Tour, Exodus is offering £100 off cycling holidays booked during the cycling race’s opening weekend (June 29 – July 1)
Holidays at the reduced price include:
A cycling weekend in Mount Ventoux
Four nights tackling the famed Mont Ventoux in France. Cyclists warm up on a lovely, quiet route from Sault to Montbrun, climbing the Col de Macuègne, before attempting the Mont Ventoux, which is set to feature in the Tour de France this July, the following day. Four nights’ B&B costs from £629 per person including flights from the UK.
Cycle the Camino de Santiago
Exodus takes cyclists on one of the Way of St James, the world’s oldest pilgrimage routes with this moderate level eight-day trip. The ride begins in the charming city of Leon before crossing the Castillan plains, gradually climbing to the highest point of the trip, the ‘Iron Cross’ (1505m), in the mountain range of Leon. Eight nights’ full board costs from £1,029 per person, including flights from the UK.
Alpine cols of the Tour de France
From the charming Italian town of Cuneo, Exodus cyclists will warm up on a few lesser-known cols before heading back into France in search of some of the most iconic climbs in cycling history. The first big challenge is the Col de la Bonnette, at 2802m the highest in Europe. From here the legendary climbs come in quick succession as cyclists make their way across the spectacular Alps, over the cols of Vars, Izoard, Galibier and Croix de Fer. The route finishes with the famous 21 hairpins bends to Alpe d’Huez – a memorable finish to a memorable cycling holiday. Seven nights full board is from £1,249 per person, including flights from the UK.
