The last time Le Tour was in La Tania was 2005 and was a huge occasion <\/a>– well worth a trip out to see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See our ride down from Col de Loze to M\u00e9<\/em>ribel <\/a>last Summer – it’s actually almost easy to hit 80km\/h on the straight bit of Boulevard du Loze even on a Mountain Bike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
