LANCE IS BACK!

Whether you are a cyclist or a spectator, make your reservations now with Velo Echappe' to get on board for what promises to be the most historical and anticipated race in cycling's illustrious history as Lance Armstrong returns to the peloton in 2009 for an unparalleled attempt at an 8th victory at France's Pro Tour! Don't be left behind in July 09!

Having been selected by ASO, the organizer's of the Tour de France, as an "Official Tour Operator" in 2006 due to the quality of our tour programs in France, Velo Echappe' is uniquely qualified to bring you face-to-face with the greatest cycling event on the planet in true style. Beginning with our international staff that have worked together for close to a decade to our logistical planning to our selection of hotels, we are here to make your cycling vacation a reality and we work hard to exceed your expectations. It's for this reason that many of our guests each year are returning clients and why we've been featured nationally in The New York Times, Washington Post, Seattle Times, Bloomberg's, SI.com, Bicycling Magazine ( 4 times), Performance Bicycle, Nabisco, VeloNews, France Magazine, Triathlete Magazine, and at Active.com.

For 2009, we will be at France's Pro Tour for the entire month of July! Though the official route announcement isn't until October 22, we have been working behind-the-scenes and this much is known so far regarding the tours we will be offering in July 2009:

Lance in France Early Registration for 2009:

The official route of the 2009 Tour de France will be announced in late October 2008. For those individuals and groups who would like to register in advance so as to secure their 2009 spaces, please follow these simple directions:

  • Please fill out our online Reservation Form , check "2009 France's Pro Tour" for your trip of choice and then click "Submit."
  • We will confirm your space within 24 hours along with deposit payment information.
  • All guests, both riding and non-riding, are required to pay a $1,000.00 deposit to secure their space.

"2 week Free Look Period" - Upon the finalization of our vacations in early November, all guests who pre-registered will have a "2 week free look" period where they can consider the various programs and decide on the program of their choice. Since they pre-registered, they will have first choice. If, for any reason, they want to cancel during this "2 week free look" period, we will refund their entire $1,000.00 deposit immediately with no questions asked. Thus, there is no risk of losing money. Following the completion of our "2 week free look" period, normal cancellation policies go back into place. This has been our program for the past 10 years with our Tour de France / Etape du Tour vacations and it's worked out well for everyone involved.

 

So join us for the ride of a lifetime at what will perhaps be the most pivotal race in the history of France's crown jewel! Make your plans to be there in person to witness Lance go for his eighth victory against the world's leading professional cyclists as they race through the postcard scenery of rural France.
