We, Alan and Lynne decided to follow our dream and move to France opening a Bed and Breakfast in our favourite area of the French Alpes. We fell in love with it after completing the E'tape D' Tour in 2006 and spending 2 weeks mountain biking in the area in the same year.

We both cycle (and ski) and have been successful in many cycling events most recently, La Vajuny sportive, Marco Pantani sportive, the Marmotte & the local Alpe d'Huez weekly time trials. Whilst in the UK we achieved, top 5 in Dusk to Dawn, 24/12 and Red Bull and Alan has won Hell of the North and came top 5 at Thetford whilst I have won Dusk to Dawn ladies pairs and the Cheddar 12 hour solo enduro plus achieved top 10 in NPS masters and vets. I competed in the first Le Mans 24H as a soloists where I came 3rd and rode 600km. We have also completed many cyclosportives including Le Marmotte and L'etape d' Tour and cycled in France, America and Spain as well as extensively in the UK. In 2010 we cycled the Marmotte route overnight with friends, which was an incredible experience that featured in 'cycling weekly' Dec '10

We are members of the local cycle club 'Velo Club Bourg d'Oisans' and take part in many of the local events and club rides. 

We have extensive knowledge of the local area having cycled most of the routes many times.

Prior to our move to France Alan spent over 20 years working with trucks both as a technician and in the office and I spent 15 years working in the restaurant and hotel trade. We are both keen cyclists and skiers and generally love the outdoors there are not many outdoor pursuits we haven't tried, some more successfully than others. Our next challenge is Nordic Skiing!

With our motivation to follow our dream, our experience of outdoor activities & holidays and our knowledge of the local area along with a great b&b we can offer you a superb base for your holiday or training camp.
