Some local pass hunters have managed to get a sign put up: "faux col des cyclotouristes", even though it's not a geographical pass! To be tested, then Bizanne 1500 will follow - participants in the 2020 critérium du Dauphiné still remember it!
You will be accompanied by instructors who hold the BE cycling certificate. Assistance and follow car will be on the program.
Meeting at 8.15 am, for a departure at 8.30 am.
Stop off at the Culture vélo Albertville shop for refreshments!
