Hello all, been riding for years but new to forum.
wonder if anyone can share experiences of riding a TdF stage, more likely a section of... thinking mountains here but all info appreciated. Not looking for organised tours or anything with entry fee etc. I like diy. Been think of doing this for last 3 years...
I talked to someone on a ride long time back (but don't live in that area any more)- They claim to have ridden a mountain stage on the same day of the TdF stage - starting very early, then pulling off the road when race arrived, watched the race and started up again once passed. The road was closed to traffic throughout.
any thoughts on how possible this is? otherwise, are roads often closed the day before / after?
