🚴‍♂️ Your complete guide to riding and watching the Tour de France in the Alps 🚴‍♂️ In this episode, we take on the final mountain stages of the 2024 Tour de France — riding up epic Alpine climbs, battling the elements, and soaking up the chaos of roadside spectating. From tips on the best spots to watch, to what to pack (hint: bin bags are more useful than you think), this is everything you need to know if you’re planning your own TdF trip. We tackle climbs to over 2,300 metres, ride alongside thousands of fans, and watch the world’s best cyclists fight it out on Stage 18 and Stage 19. There’s mud, rain, cowbells, and more than a few characters along the way. 💡 My top Tour de France tips: Bring bin bags (trust me) Carry more clothing than you think you need Take food, water, and a speaker Leave plenty of time for the climb Embrace the madness and bad weather — it’s part of the fun Don’t miss the ride up — it’s like the world’s biggest sportive on closed roads Find a steep section to watch the race for the best view and atmosphere Use code Sam15 at Rocacorba here: https://www.rocacorbagirona.com/disco...
