For whom is this trip suited?
Trip is suited for all fans of Tour de France, ideally for those who even want to try it in saddle of bike. Joining the trip without bike is really inconvenient and even impossible to enjoy.
Overall we will ride 600 and more kilometers, in hilly environment. So it is useful to have same training before the trip to France, in order to enjoy the trip on max.
