Planning a self-guided tour in France
The idea of going on a cycling tour in France is exciting. The idea of planning and executing one can feel daunting. Most people are trying to figure out two things: First, can I actually pull this off? (Spoiler: yes, you can.) Second, do I want to do what it takes? Some of us thrive on figuring this stuff out. Some of us would rather just ride for an hour and call it a day. This is for the first group.
You are invited to book a 15-minute 1:1 discussion with me about your plan. My preference is that you attend a webinar first prior to booking an appointment but I also understand schedules and constraints. I find these conversations more productive if you arrive with some idea of where you'd like to go and a few questions prepared in advance.
About BikeTourFrance.net
Eat. Sleep. Roll. Repeat. I love cycling, bicycle touring, and France. BikeTourFrance brings those worlds together. I share what I've learned with fellow riders, helping them move from aspiration to execution. I don't charge for guidance, but I gratefully accept tips.
Many cyclists would love to tour France on a bike but haven't yet figured out how. It can be a lot. Self-guided touring is about planning: route, lodging, food, gear. I've planned and executed many self-supported tours, including eight across France. I lead group rides for Cascade Bicycle Club, work in enterprise technology, and hold DELF B2 French certification. I'm not a camper—I prefer a real bed, a warm shower and a solid meal. I care about route design, timing, lodging, eating well, and getting details right.
You're welcome to contact me here if scheduling conflicts prevent you from attending a webinar or booking a short meeting. If you have an urgent or time-sensitive request, find a way to book time on my calendar directly. Otherwise, expect a slow response.
