French cycling week (Semaine Federale)
I had never heard of this before. (It has only been going on for 65
years!) Looks like a week of bicycle touring that is based in a different town every year. I seems to be huge; close to 12,000 riders in 2003 and I think I saw something about 18,000 in 2004. Looks like they ride a different route everyday, but stay in the same town all week. Looks like some days there is a choice of routes, but from what I can make out of the 2004 routes, the first day is 100 miles, no other choices. And these being French cyclists, there will be mountains involved. I got onto it in a French magazine (Cyclo Passion). There was an article about the 2003 ride. 12,000 peolpe and there were _no_ N Americans on this ride, least wise none that signed up with a N Am address. http://sf2004.free.fr/ or translated if this long link works: http://translate.google.com/translat... 26ie%3DUTF-8 |

This year it was in Denmark but I didn't have time alas. Next year will be in Belgium. http://users.pandora.be/ftcolympia/aitrally2004.htm M. |
