Miki Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Stefan,For a quick and simple look (at least until the main site you have put up gets it all up (towns etc) try this one for a quick glimpse: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/cycling/4380002.stmWe are quite near to it again this year but seen enough now live and will probably watch it on the box this time, friends with a hotel in Alpes D'Huez have the tour again, as normal!

Iceni Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Oh b****r, nowhere near us again. Perhaps 2007 ?Johnnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've realised I can tie up a camping trip to Arcachon and catch the Bordeaux to Dax section as mes gamins will be on school hols by then - 11th July.

Wizzer Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Miki - could you possibly let me have details of the hotel in Alpe'D'Huez?I am riding the Etape du Tour which means next year we will be doing the stage from Gap to the Alpe on Monday 10th and I can't find any accommodation at either end - it's all seems to be booked already by the big tour companies.Has anyone else got any contacts in the area?Thanks.

Wizzer Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I've now found a hotel in Alpe d'Huez but I'm still struggling for one in Gap - any ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike1958 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 We were lucky enough to watch the tour pass through our town this year and seem to have hit lady luck again for next year as the stage actually starts in our town this time on Friday the 14th of July. If it is anything like last year it will be a great event especially as our house is only 100 meters from the main street.Luchon (31) is a great place to be when the sun is shining and the wine is flowingRegards,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 OK, for those who want to know where to be / not to be in July, full details of the route have just been released and can be found at http://www.letour.com/2006/presentation/fr/parcours.html (edited to add - the link doesn't seem to work correctly, nevertheless take the option to connect to the home page, then click on Tour 2006 and away you go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 [quote user="Stefan"]OK, for those who want to know where to be / not to be in July, full details of the route have just been released [/quote]Brilliant timing! By the time I have packed up my tent at The Pyla Dune campsite on the 11th July I can hook up with the Tour as it starts it's Bordeaux to Dax section not far from Arcachon [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
