Memorable parts? Reaching the top of the Col du Tourmalet. Tips? You need to be really fit for this holiday. Train beforehand as much as possible. Some climbs are very long and arduous. I did not cope with the unseasonably hot temperatures (over 40C, according to my Garmin). Local benefits? No more than other cycling holidays, I guess. Overall rating? Very good. (more)Dave Hutton

Yes, as locals were employed, ran hotels, shops, etc.... (more)Robyn Ward
