Cyclesport Travel Gives You Access to European Events

Cyclesport Travel LLC is a new venture formed by veteran cyclists Mark Plane, Dave Supple, Scott Wente and Colin O’Brien providing cycling trips with a focus on Cyclosportive and Gran Fondo events.  As cyclists with thousands of Midwestern miles we have found great pleasure experiencing the European cycling world. We want to share this joy of riding the roads and climbs that you may have only seen on television during the Tour de France.

The Ariegeoise, Pyrenees Playgound trip (June 21st to July 1st) guide you through the classic climbs but will also allow you to experience a race day like atmosphere as you participate in the June 26th Ariegeoise Cyclosportive event. The Ariegeoise Cyclosportive is a 165km or 105km adventure and this year finishes at the top of the legendary over category Plateau de Beille.

The second phase of the trip takes us to Arreau to access the Peyresourde, Col d’Aspin and the Tourmalet. This is the 100 year anniversary of  the Tourmalet climb in the TDF, which the Tour riders will climb twice just a few weeks after your visit.

The legendary sites of cycling history are on our routes every day: the very spot Christophe broke his fork in 1913, the curve that Jan Ullrich could not negotiate, the climb that Rasmussen and Contador attacked each other on so viciously, the road where Voeckler lost his yellow jersey, the fountain where thousands of Tour riders have filled their bidons.
