Morzine-Avoriaz Cyclosportive & Le Tour 2013
My mate from FreedomTri, Chris McQue who is in the corporate event management business has organised a couple of packages to the Alps for next year with the chance to combine two stages (19+20) of Le Tour with some fantastic cycling. All based in Morzine, Portes du Soleil, 1 hour from Geneva which is easy to get to; see the attached document which summarises both packages or visit www.thelodgemorzine.co.uk
2 options:
(A) 4-night/5-day trip Thurs 13-Mon 17 June to include major Morzine-Avoriaz Cyclosportive with a full programme of rides plus training opportunities for anyone wanting to run and swim as well but with emphasis on the riding, which will include famous cols and routes such as Joux Plane, Joux Verte, Avoriaz etc and two different distances in the sportive on Sunday 16th.
(B) Le Tour, Weds 17 - Monday 22 July 2013 5 nights/6 days. Combines 5 days of Alpine cycling with stages 19+20 in Grand Bornand and Annecy of next year's TDF. These could well be the ones that decide the race next year and both are within easy riding/transfer distance of Morzine.
Chris has got these for £479 and £599 respectively - more well-known cycle tour specialists are selling long weekends for £1k+ so it is good value. All transfers, half board meals, afternoon tea, wine with 3-course dinner and suggested riding programme are included based at The Lodge which has 2-bedroom apartments for 4-5 people and an excellent 'base-camp' bar-restaurant with additional sauna, jacuzzi & gym facility. On top of this you only need to budget for flights, lunches out on rides and beer money! They are also offering 1 free place for 12 bookings.
Feel free to email Chris directly on chris.mcque@btinternet.com if you have any questions - you can also pass it onto any mates, work colleagues etc that might be interested.
