This will be our Great Challenge: Crossing the Pyrenees from coast to coast.

From the Basque Coast in the Cantabrian Sea to the beaches in L´Escala, Catalunya. In our way, Pyrenees’ big “colosus” and many other unknown climbs. We will ride both the south and north faces of the Pyrenees, and every day we’ll discover the little villages and valleys that form it.

More than 900Km and 7 stages to cross them. A great challenge, a great dream.

You must be in good shape if you want to cycle the whole way and visit all the places of interest en route.

There will be 2 groups of 50 cyclists plus non-cycling participants (maximum of 6 per group). 100 cyclists in all, on a strict first come first served basis. During the ride support vehicles will transfer luggage, prepare liquid and solid feeding stations, carry a first aid kit and a tool kit with spares, and act as a sag wagon just in case. At the end of the ride our accommodation and evening meal will be waiting for us. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ENJOY THE CYCLING, THE LANDSCAPES AND THE COMPANY!!

True to our philosophy of non-competitive cycling and great sport challenges, we’ve designed 2 different Mallorca Cycling Xperience versions.

Hidden inland roads, undiscovered spots, seaside roads, crossing the surprisingly mountainous north coast of the island. Beaches, cliffs, forests, mountains, plains, but above all, a fantastic climate will be our travel companion.

During the ride support vehicles will transfer luggage, prepare liquid and solid feeding stations, carry a first aid kit and a tool kit with spares, and act as a sag wagon just in case. At the end of the ride our accommodation and evening meal will be waiting for us.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ENJOY THE RIDE!!

We’ll know the most spectacular spots of Majorca in 6 stages of increasing difficulty. A great pre-season training week!!

The Dolomites and Valtellina are one of the most beautiful places in the world and heaven on earth for cycling fans. Bolzano, Arabba and Bormio will be the base camps for 6 stages featuring such legendary passes as Pordoi, Gavia, Stelvio and Mortirolo plus as many as 16 great peaks.

6 stages, 630 km to discover some of the gems of the Dolomites.

You must be in good shape if you want to cycle the whole way and visit all the places of interest en route. But, as in previous years, we’ve planned alternative, less strenuous routes and finishes to cater for all participants.

There will be a group of 50 cyclists plus non-cycling participants (maximum of 8). Cyclists on a strict first come first served basis. During the ride support vehicles will transfer luggage, prepare liquid and solid feeding stations, carry a first aid kit and a tool kit with spares, and act as a sag wagon just in case.

The IRATI XTREM race is meant to be a 128Km non-competitive race. There is no real classifying or winners. The first 3 km at the start are neutralized. The race goes along some of the most beautiful spots in the Pyrenees and around The Irati Forest, the second largest and best preserved beech and fir forest in Europe.

For those who want to compete, there is the Larrau ascent time trial. Larrau is one of the well-known ports in the Pyrenees, and one stage in the Tour the France in 2007. The ascent time trial will be timed at Larrau.

Come and live your dreams in the Tour of those who’ll never go to the Tour.

ALPES CYCLING XPERIENCE is not a race, it's a great sport challenge with 6 spectacular stages. Come to ride on the roads where the history of cycling has been written.

ALPES CYCLING XPERIENCE is a trip along the Alps climbing mythical cols and discovering unique spots. No timings, no classifications, no prizes. We all set off together and we all arrive together. We tackle each climb at our own pace and gather at the summit for a chat or a bite to eat, or we cycle down to any stragglers and cycle back up with them. The organisers’ main aim is to foster an atmosphere of cooperation and friendship.
