We are extremely proud of our latest tour, the Lozerien Bis, and love riding it – but it isn’t for everyone! From the outset we wanted to create our most technical route to date and we are delighted to have achieved that goal. Made up of three loops starting and finishing in Mende the distances aren’t excessive (approx. 150 kilometres per day) but the going is pretty demanding. Apart from one optional climb, that only one person has so far managed to clean, it is all riderable – provided you are at least of competent clubman level. And if you are of that level it is the sheer density of technical going that will make the Lozerien Bis such a challenging ride. The reward is some absolutely stunning scenery, some great lunch stops and the knowledge that you have tackled terrain that has, in the past, been used to tax some of the greatest enduro riders in the world. Very much a case of ‘beware what you wish for’ we strongly recommend you give us a ring before you sign up for this trip, to make sure you aren’t about to bite off more than you can chew!
