Welcome to Lostende Tours: France Pyrenees road bike cycling tour. You are invited to come and ride one of the ultimate road bike challenges, a 14 day round trip cycling vacation across the French Pyrenees mountains, coast to coast - Atlantic to the Mediterranean - and back ! Your very own Tour of France biking adventure - priceless! If you consider yourself an experienced and committed cyclist then you need to do this...think of the challenge, the cycling history, the pure fun of it. Oh, and the next time another cyclist tries to strut their stuff with some wimpy claim about a 4 day trip covering 300 miles you can say, "1000 miles, 94,000 ft, 12 days - across the Pyrenees and back!"
