Step away from the cookie, and get out your checkbook.

Thomson's King of the Mountains French Alps tour itinerary is up. It's going to be a fun, but tough trip. Average of 70 miles/10,000 feet climbing per day.

We will be staying in 3 different hotels, starting in the town of Megeve (near Geneva),


then Meribel (near Albertville), and finally atop the famous Alpe d'Huez. We fly into and out of Lyon.

Trip Highlights:
  • July 14: LIVE Race viewing on the Col de la Colombiere

  • July 15: LIVE Race viewing on the Cormet de Roselend
  • July 17: LIVE Race viewing on the Col du Galibier

The climbs we will conquer (total climbing nearly 60,000 feet):

The red lantern is going to be out there at the same time, we'll have to try and get him in on a ride of 2.

on another note, maybe it's time to remove the anonymous option.

Is Red Lantern with a tour, or just self-guided?

I won't be on the Sunday ride. I have to be somewhere in the afternoon. You guys have fun.

The other JC,

We're going to have to coordinate. I'd like more details on this trip. I'm planning an 8-10 week stint in France this summer. Like to be part of these rides somehow. Send me an e-mail/phone number when you get a chance.
