CAMPS & CATERING

Having run highly-acclaimed mountain biking tours in the French Alps for nearly 10 years, we know how important it is to make a special effort when it comes to mountain bikers' accommodation and food. For Trans-Provence, this means carefully selected, clean and comfortable campsites and a hard-working camp and catering team to take care of all the logistical ins and outs. This set-up enables us to take pride in feeding you properly and allows you the rider to relax around camp, reflect on the day's riding, and contemplate the challenges that lay ahead.

Your tent will be set up for you by the time you arrive at camp every afternoon, and will be dismantled and packed away for you as you depart on your morning uplift after breakfast.

All of your belongings, except for what you need for the day's riding, are transported for you by us from camp to camp.

All entrants have use of a Trans-Provence standard camping kit, which equates to a very spacious (for 1) tent and a thick ground-mat, as well as all usual facilities at the sites where our nightly camps are located.
Professional caterers provide quality food in real bikers' proportions and, just as importantly, on time (19:00 each evening). Breakfast, lunch, afternoon feed-station snacks and dinner (the latter with wine) are all included in the Trans-Provence entrance fee.

 

BIKE MAINTENANCE

The Trans-Provence route is generally technical and unforgiving, in other words, it takes its toll on bikes. With this in mind, our very kind headline sponsor FOX RACING SHOX / MOJO will be providing suspension support each evening, and will do their best to help keep the bouncy bits of your bike in working order. Also, our co-sponsors sponsors GT Bicycles will be providing a servicing area equipped with ample lighting and tools, for everyone's use each evening before and after dinner.

 

SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPY

Not only does the route takes it's toll on bikes, it's also been known to make people feel quite phyically tired too. Three professional masseuses courtesy of MassageMe will travel with us all week to help keep riders on top form. More details about the service they are providing can be found here.
