This may be a bit left field
Putting together an very late itinerary to follow the 2015 Tour de France. As in previous years, free riding across France, Belgium and bits of the Netherland and may be GR or CH
Average daily riding is 120km (rain or sunshine). May be one or two big 160-180km rides and 10 - 20km cols during the watching the tour stages.
Slow, easy and enjoy summer riding, many coffee croissant stops.
Plan to watch 11 of the 21 stage, including famous Alpe d’Huez stage with 1m other spectators.
Riding with Smartphone GPS, no one should get lost
Limited luggage, except a camelback striped or under seat bag to carry wet weather and winter clothing for the alps and a pair of shorts and tee shirt.
Daily washing of kit
Budget 50 - 100 euro for food, accommodation and Belgium beer per day
Other option could be three weeks and head home via train to Paris for fly out.
If you know anyone who may be interested join this ride, please forward my details. I have not been able to find any active on line sites to hock up like minded riders!!:(
Need to get on a plane to meet in Netherlands for stage 1 July 4
Cheers Shean
