NOTE: Trips require bicycle riding along with Tour de France participants, which will require winner to be in exceptional physical condition. The Tour de France rides are challenging, mountainous, and are known for their long, strenuous climbs. The activity level for the Tour de France biking trip is for avid cyclists. Potential winners should be comfortable riding 40-75 miles with difficult ascents of 6-12 miles. Prior to accepting prize, potential winners must certify that they are willing and able to accept the aforementioned physical challenges.
