Sportives
Participate in a sportive whilst you are here – its really simple – let us know which one you are interested in and we will help with registration and travel arrangements. A medical certificate is required.
The sportives are exceptionally well organised, taking you along quiet roads and depending upon where the sportive is held differing terrain. The entrance fee, usually quite modest, normally includes a gift ranging from jersey, t shirt, bottle of wine. Food and drink stations are frequent on the routes and an after event repas is normally included in the price too.
L’Ariegeoise is perhaps the largest cyclosportive in the area, attracting cyclists from all over the world. 2019 has 5 distances plus an electric assisted course, a ladies specific route and a triathlon event. The sportive is aa truly fantastic cycling fete taking you through some of the most beautiful mountain scenery.
