Welcome to the first newsletter in the run-up to the Haute Route Ventoux. A course carved from the history books, this event explores all three sides of the legendary “Giant of Provence”. This is no ordinary mountain and we can't wait to see you conquer it this October.
From here on in, you can look forward to receiving bi-weekly updates from us. These newsletters will be packed full of inspiration and insights, from course highlights to rider inspiration and partner information. For everything else you need to know about the event, make sure you head to the Practical Information section on the Haute Route website.
Ride safe and see you in the mountains,
The Haute Route team
