Ventoux Madness 2023

Mont Ventoux, the giant of the Provence, obviously needs no introduction. Always looming in the background, the Ventoux is often part of grand-tours (Remember Wout?) and multiple bike-races take place each year. Where Alpe D'Huez is claimed by our Dutchies to be their climb, we Belgians can say the same for the Ventoux. And we believe that every Belgian should at least once in their lifetime climb this beauty (or six times).

Do you have what it takes to conquer this giant? Then join us for our Ventoux Madness Weekend! 

What can you expect? 

THU: arrival at the accommodation. Getting-to-know-the group-dinner. Setting up the bike.

FRI: ATTACK - Beat your Personal Best on the Bedoin-side of this monster.

A light breakfast, a shot of caffeine, a nervous ride via Col de la Madeleine towards Bedoin, and off we go for a time-trial on the Bedoin-side. After the summit we descend via Sault and enjoy the mind-boggling descent (probably the most beautiful road in Europe!!!) via Gorges de la Nesque back to our Basecamp.

SAT 4 JUN. 2022: RECOVER - Take it easy with a coffee-ride and relax next to the pool.

Saturday is all about relaxing and carb-loading for the grand final on Sunday. We take the bikes for a spin for a coffee ride around the villages of Vaison-la-Romaine, Gigondas, Séguret and La Roque Alric! So beautiful and quiet! 

After a BIG BIG spaghetti (all you can eat), we go to bed early as we know that tiredness will be our biggest enemy the next day.

SUN 5 JUN. 2022: ENDURE - Destroy this giant by going up and down as much times possible.

Lights on! It's 5AM and we're on our way via Malaucene to reach the summit for a first time. What do you aim for? Cinglé? Bicinglé? 10K meters? Eyes on the prize and let's go!

After everyone reached her/his goal, we enjoy the last dinner together in the city centre of Malaucène
