Join us for this classic cycling challenge
Mont Ventoux is a regular fixture of the Tour de France and is well known for its arid rocky landscape situated in a beautiful part of Provence. We will be based in the town of Malaucene and spend the first two days taking in scenic rides flanking Mont Ventoux, before attempting a choice of 1, 2, or 3 recognised ascents of this classic peak.
This event is fully supported by our volunteer team who will provide picnic lunches, tea stops, snacks and refreshments along the way. All bikes and luggage will be brought back by the team after the event ready to collect from the YMCA Sports and Community Centre in Redhill.

We would also encourage cyclists to join a cycle club, if not a member already where training sessions are available every week. The nearest one to us is Redhill Cycling Club. Local club Team Cake also take regular social rides, information for which can be found on their Facebook Page.
