Cycling Tour Overview

LEVEL

1 Roo: I’m relatively fit and comfortable on the bike and happiest on mild gradients or the flat.

2 Roo’s: Fitness and health is my life. I ride regularly on a weekly basis with friends and on weekends I’m not daunted by rides of up to 5 hours for a few days back to back.  

3 Roo’s: Riding is my life! I’m not interested in racing, I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. I love the challenge and the idea of where my legs and bike can take me. My friends and I are always looking for the next cycling adventure. Want to know more about the VéloRoo Roo levels?

    • Day 2: le Parcours au Cent LacetsDay 2: le Parcours au Cent Lacets

      Our first day will be a ride like no other. Offering stunning scenery our curated route deep in the heart of the dramatic Alpes-Maritimes is both challenging and rewarding in equal measure. The worlds most inspiring roads are in the mountains, their character defined by what the French call “Lacets”. We know them as hairpins. They ignite all the wonderful emotions of road riding fun, challenge and discovery.

    • Day 3: The route of “The Long Knives”Day 3: The route of “The Long Knives”

      Rally’s mythic stage, le Col du Turini is ours to discover. As the Rally Crews compete this incredible stage at night, Rally fans christen it “the night of the long knives” in reference to the rally cars powerful spotlights that send piercing blades of light cutting through the cold night air.

    • Day 4: Allez la Cote d’Azur!Day 4: Allez la Cote d’Azur!

      Coursing along the coast we will cross the border into Monaco and through its prestigious boulevards and streets lined with the boutiques of the finest labels. We arrive onto the circuit on pit straight, and complete one “flying lap”. Your first time around the Monaco GP circuit is difficult to describe, it’s a feast for your eyes – and your legs after Ste Devote!

    • Day 5: Circuit de Monaco GPDay 5: Circuit de Monaco GP

      Our last day on the bike gets us intimate with possibly the most glamorous training ride you will ever do. After a brief roll along the beach front, we commence our day’s climbing challenge. The resident Pro’s favourite training climb and another chance to spot cycling royalty!

    • Day 6: Historic Motorsport – Day 1Day 6: Historic Motorsport – Day 1

      Our first full day at Monaco. Our stand not only has you so close to the racing you will see their hands on the wheel, and you can almost see the drivers eyes! We choose this stand for Saturday specially so you can experience first hand the incredible engine notes that have sadly long gone in the modern F1 era.

    • Day 7: Historic Motorsport – Day 2Day 7: Historic Motorsport – Day 2

      Our stand for the second day is located in another great location offering unparalleled viewing of the cars at speed. With no traction control or electronic driver aids you will see just how much the cars move about as the drivers work to maintain control of these high speed works of art on the limit…..and sadly sometimes over it.

    • Day 8: Departure dayDay 8: Departure day

      Sadly it has to come to an end where we wish you au revoir et bon voyage. Menton train station is only a short walk from your apartment.
