L'étape du tour!

Thoughts on the etape stage for next year?

I’m in!! Looks nicer than this year - not that it would be hard to be easier!

I definitely like that is isn’t a tough as last year - I love the long descent to the finish line too.

Will I go? Not sure yet. The cost of the event has gone up, plus you have to get there and find somewhere to stay, plus the cost of living is through the roof. Will take some time to think about it!

It’s very close to a MTB marathon I want to do. Not sure which one I will prefer. Looks ok except for the last col, that’s just that little bit outside of the comfort zone.

I got my entry! Glad I got it early too. Wasn’t sure on this based on the event this year, but it still sold out very quickly!!

Right! Looks like I took too long thinking about it - crazy hoe quick that sold out. Spaces only available via tour operators. Will look at something else like Maratona or Marmotte

Highly, highly recommend the Marmotte. Was an amazing experience.

Second to that - I’ve actually done all three mentioned here (l’etape, Marmotte, and Maratona). Maratona is easily my favourite, then Marmotte, then l’etape.
