[#320490]

For anyone wanting to do something like the Trans-Alp or Trans-Rockies this year, but perhaps looking something a bit less painful and with more singletrack... my girlfriend is organising this and asked me to give it a quick mention on here...

Sounds good Ash, I might think about entering myself! Nice way to end the summer season.

... and you'd have no excuse not to win, what with the lack of lifts and all that pedalling you have to do all summer long up in Ste Foy ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hey Ash

Looks good

There are some local races also using parts of that route/area. Turini to Menton is a popular one.

Taking the Cap'dail to finish in Monaco?

Looks good ash, nice to see you're getting this off the ground.
If I thought I was fit enough I might even be tempted.

Nasher, no not CdA... a smidge further East possibly ๐Ÿ˜‰

Mike, for obvious reasons, no... you'll just have to come to Les Arcs instead...

I cannot wait to do this trip/race/point to point thing.

I have been waiting for an event like this all my life. Having ridden a little round there I am salivating at the thought of 7 days of immersion.

Nasher, the T-P route uses about 3kms of the same route we did that day.

Suffice to say that each T-P day will start and finish a bit earlier than we did that day (Easter 06 it was BTW)... I think we were still trying to persuade you to join us on the ride at the back end of a late mediterranean lunch in Sospel ๐Ÿ˜‰

Blimey, that looks a bit strenuous!

Is there a Trans-Norfolk for us less rugged types?

It's a lot less strenuous than all the other "Trans" type events, as far as I'm aware... however, yes, still quite a physical week of riding
