A SPECTACULAR MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE
An epic week, Giants is all about big days with multiple climbs for riders seeking a real challenge. A typical day is 120km with 2500m of climbing, and we cover all of the famous cols: Tourmalet, Aspin, Hautacam, Soulor, Aubisque, Luz Ardiden, Lac de Cap-de-Long (as seen
in Cyclist magazine, click here to view the feature) and more. You’ll be glad of our support car to keep you fuelled up. Each evening you will be buzzing with the achievement, marvelling at the scenery you witnessed, and ready for our hearty food.
While this is a mighty week of riding, we aim to make it accessible and you don’t need to be super-fit to enjoy it. We keep a sensible pace, take regular breaks, and everyone can ride their own tempo on the climbs. If you’re still unsure whether or not Giants is for you, get in touch and we’ll be glad to talk it over with you.
