The Raid Ventoux was launched in January 2015 by the team who founded Just Pedal to provide organisation and access to some of the most iconic road cycling challenges in the world.
For 2015 that means trips to Alpe D’Huez, the Stelvio Pass and the legendary Mont Ventoux. The Raid reckons Mont Ventoux is ‘probably the most iconic climb in cycling. Respected and feared by some of the best cyclists in the world and on the ‘must do’ list of every amateur cycling fan.’ Nearly £700 for a long weekend is not cheap but looking at the ‘What’s Included’ list suggests a value for money trip of a lifetime. Here’s that list:
- Fully supported ride of Mont Ventoux with routes for one, two or three ascents in a day
- Offical ‘Cingle de Ventoux’ Carnet and entry into the ‘club cingle de Ventoux’ for all who complete three ascents
- Exclusive Raid Ventoux Jersey
- Two nights’ 3-star Hotel accommodation (Twin Share, Breakfast Included)
- Transfer to/from Marseilles Airport or Avignon train station (flight/train not included)
- Return luggage and bike transfer from the UK
- Support from The Raid Ventoux expert domestiques, support drivers and mechanics. All first aid trained
- Detailed stage info, maps, GPS data, and route profiles
- All on-ride snacks and energy products
