Here at Grand Velo Tours we are first and foremost cyclists, family and friends who have an\u00a0appetite for adventure. Organising this great ride\u00a0came about by trying to seek the ultimate Grand Tour. Having ridden many endurance stage events over a 10-year period including full Tour de France routes as well as international\u00a0stage races, we decided to put our experience to good use and eliminate the strain and stress that we encountered by creating this extremely beautiful yet challenging trip. Our route, inspired\u00a0by the spirit of Eddy Merckx and the\u00a0great 1972 tour\u00a0would allow riders to not only experience the ride of a lifetime but enable them to finish each day with both the physical and mental capacity to enjoy this demanding journey whilst\u00a0building new friendships. As organisers, we felt that the best way for riders to accomplish what appears to be an insurmountable task would be to take that journey ourselves,\u00a0use that experience and share our love of riding to others. It\u2019s safe to say we have turned every pedal stroke of this great adventure and cannot wait for you to do the same. See you on the mountains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_promoted":"","_company_tagline":"Cycle Your Own French Grand Tour.","_job_location":"","_company_website":"","_company_twitter":"@grand_velo","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job-categories":[49],"job-types":[],"class_list":["post-19921","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-publish","hentry","job_listing_category-agency"],"yoast_head":"\n
