New Jerseys & Shirts are Here


The new Discover France Adventures 'kits' are in! Jerseys, shorts, and bib shorts are available at prices just over cost. This is not a profit center item, we want jerseys on the road so we are just covering costs; so the prices are very good. This is high quality gear made by Sugoi, the same company that outfits our top rated amateur youth development team, Team Waste Management.

The design is very cool too! We use our custom logos and unique logo color combination but we have kept the graphics to a minimum. For fun, we stuck a baguette, wine bottle, and camembert (cheese) in the back pockets! Its France afterall!! On the collar it says Bonjour and Au Revoir! The material is lightweight and light colors so will keep you cool; and looking very cool!

Also on this page that is linked above are some new T-shirts! Of course they too are very stylish and sold at just over cost. Different options are available. Some nice white Ts to our blue/green T, and our night club black T.

Enjoy!

Tour de France & Etape 2010


The 2009 Tour is a few weeks in the bag now and already the inquiries for 2010 are upon us! In fact, we already have bookings! (Pic: Our client David Towne with his favorite play by play guy!)

What we know - the 2010 Tour will see some new teams and potentially a new rivalry: Contador who is trying to get away from Astana and possibly go with a new Spanish team; Lance going to Radioshack and forming a team. There is no doubt that the news and dramas of pro cycling will keep us glued until next year.

This year we had some great trips and feedback was very good. So, in order to get people booked and confortable, we are going to accept advance bookings now with a fully refundable option until December this year. When we know the full Tour program for 2010 in late October, we will announce some tours. This is a NO RISK way to lock up some space.

Why our tours? They are for cyclists - some come along if you want to do a lot of riding! We use only professional guides - which means Frenchmen who have years of cycling education, a diploma certifying their ability to lead people which includes safety, first aid, insurance, mechanics, group dynamics, and more. Not to mention that our guides are also bilingual, friendly, fun, and all strong cyclists themselves! Last - Price; very few can offer a better value. Being based in France and USA gives us a unique cost advantage - we don't have to subcontract services - so no layers of margin in our tours! Keep that in mind when you shop!
