Jemison Cycling Tours

The Bordeaux Town Hall is inviting all locals who love good food & wine. We know Bordeaux and we're inviting you to join us at the Bordeaux Wine Festival. Along with celebrating at the festival, we'll enjoy some of France's best cycling.

We start our trip riding through Nuits-St.Georges, Pommard, Chassgne-Montrachet, & Vosne Romanee - villages rich in wine history. We'll taste and learn about Grand Crus, Premier Crus and the Pinot grape used to make these great wines

The classic climbs of the French Alps are responsible for creating cycling heroes and cycling lore. Merely reading the names of these famed climbs typically invokes a sense of awe in cyclists. Standing atop their summits invokes a sense of accomplishment and pride, not to mention lifelong "bragging rights."

The trip begins with rides in and around Girona, taking in its nearby countryside and passing field after glorious field of vibrant herbs and magnificently restored farmhouses. We'll climb the nearby Els Angels or San Grau, mountains on which the local professionals test themselves. Next, we'll head to the coast where there are typically more cyclists than cars. The roads along the Costa Brava flow like ribbon next to the sensuous beaches. We'll then ride towards the Pyrenees, where we'll pass through small villages and peaceful landscapes of Catalunya. Finally, we'll ride back to Girona through beautiful hills, valleys and mountains for our final evening together.

Climb & Conquer the massive Mount Ventoux or ride to the village market in Vaison-la-Romanee. Ride with us across textured landscapes, under cypressa trees & through lavendar fields. Stop for a quick taste of olives or a fresh red pepper from our friend's garden before riding into the hilly, Gorges de la Nesque region.

Will you wait another year dreaming about being in France and seeing the greatest bike race in the world? We all imagine ourselves as great champions…pushing the envelope – testing our body’s limits – reaching the summit. The question remains, what will you do with your thoughts?

While the Alps capture the most attention, France's other famed mountain range, the Pyrenees, rivals the Alps in beauty while offering equally epic climbs. Jemison Cycling Tours is offering a challenge to ride from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea through the Pyrenees Mountains. Our route has been designed by Marty and includes many epic Tour de France Cols.

Come with us to Tuscany and get to know this wonderful corner of the world! Jump on your bike and head into this incredible countryside uncovering amazing landscapes. As is true of all Tuscan terrain, there are hills to climb, but plenty of views to savor. You'll have the opportunity to challenge yourself by day and reward yourself in the evening under warm Tuscan skies.
