Do you wish to achieve one of the world's great amateur cycling challenges? There is nothing quite like this - 63 days on the bike, 10,500km of riding, and over 150,000m of vertical ascent - as you ride every kilometre of all 3 Grand Tours. All in one year. Just a few hours ahead of the pros. And on the best routes in Italy, France and Spain. Start training!
For the first time ever, the opportunity of riding every kilometre of all 3 Grand Tours is being offered. This challenge is the genesis of Grand Tours Project, when our Founder became the first amateur cyclist to achieve this in 2013. We are now providing all of our expertise, experience, and logistical skills to allow any amateur cyclist the complete this feat.
The Grand Tours "Grand Slam" is a physical, mental and logistical challenge, and we can help with all three of these - your training program, the positive mental state you will need to maintain throughout, and of course all the logistical and organisational aspects.
Of course, it is difficult for anyone to take off 63 days from work and family. We're therefore also offering this on a staggered basis, so you're able to complete all 63 stages of the 3 Grand Tours over 1, 2 or more years. For example, you may wish to complete all 21 stages of the Tour de France in 2019, and then the Giro d'Italia and La Vuelta in years 2 and 3. Or just complete Week 1 of the Tour in 2019, and then gradually each of the other 8 weeks over the ensuing years (see our three "Ride Every Kilometre" tours).
There is very limited space for this challenge, with a maximum ratio of 7 cyclists : 1 guide. Don't be deterred by the enormity of the challenge - you will surprise yourself what you can achieve with some training and our support.
We can promise you a true experience of a lifetime, memories that will last forever, tired legs, and bragging rights with your cycling friends back home. And maybe a trophy and podium appearance at the finish line in Madrid. Contact us to find out more.
