Looks pretty awesome

Looks like a Trail addiction off shoot.

Interesting that the website is all in English, despite the fact that it's a race in France. How does that work?

@freeride - I think one of the Trail Addiction partners runs Trans Provence, that's regularly full sold/out so this is a natural addition. Indeed it looks rather awesome, I rode with them around Areches Beaufort and the trails there were excellent and deserted.

I imagine it's targetted mainly at Brits and as above is a "Trail Addiction event" - the cost is indicated to be in the region of a grand (under), there a more limited market in France IMO at that price level.

Looks pretty amazing, and if they get it in below the grand for the package, very good value too.
Squinting at the map for the last stage it looks like they take the GR5 trail from Bellevue as the last descent, which is pretty technical, and it'd be nice to get the chance to ride the trail legally too!

They might want to check the spellings of some of the places they're going to though... ๐Ÿ˜€ Unless things have really changed since I moved away.

"The event will truly level-the-playing-field between the technically brilliant, the athletically fit, the mentally determined, and the mindful strategist...."

Sounds like me. Very very tempted...
