July 20: Another VIP day! The tour stage goes from Luchon to Pau, over the Tourmalet, and we'll ride our 'D-day' on the race course, into Pau! From our key hotel position we can ride a good section of the stage over the Tourmalet and Aubisque and then cross the finish line like the pros in the center of Pau with thousands looking on! We then have access to the podium and can stay around for the pro finish and post stage activities! A day to remember! Return to La Mongie by bus to our hotel with dinner. (B,L,D)

July 21: Tour Rest Day: With the Tour on break today, we have the chance to get in some rides not on this year's race: we can do the Hautacam with a loop back through Bagneres de Bigorre with return back up the Tourmalet.
