Experience the thrill of bicycling an entire stage of the 'tour de france' just days before the pros in the famous Etape du Tour cyclosportive, the mass participation bicycle ride. Trek is a major sponsor of the event and Trek Travel has the top 300 guaranteed entries for guests seeking the much sought after, but difficult to attain entry spots. This year's exhilarating route covers Stage 17 of the tour, with a spectacular route that stretches over 108 demanding, glorious miles from the host town of Pau to the stunning heights of Col du Tourmalet at more than 6900 feet. Enjoy private Trek Travel rest stops along the route, special on route support and our famous finale picnic feast in the village. This extremely popular event draws thousands of cyclists from around the globe to participate in an annual feat of cycling stamina and the crowds along the roadside are reminiscent of those of the 'tour de france' itself. It is sure to be an experience that you'll remember forever.
