Alpine sportives June 2011

Hibbs

Hi People,

We're off to France in early June 2011. I'm planning on going to get some miles in on the Alps but does anyone know if there are any sportives going on there at this time, or any websites were I could find out?

Cheers

If you wander over the border near Chamonix about the first weekend in June, you could do the Gran Fondo Saint-Vincent in and above the Aosta Valley in Italy.

The Time Megeve Mont Blanc is good. 3 x distances, all starting/finishing in Megeve is in June.

Have a look at www.cyclosport.org

When the calendar goes live, you can look here.

Do a June search and then scan the addresses column for alpine department numbers (you don't say where you mean by alpine, but North to South (ish): 74, 73, 38, 05, 04, 06).

The main ones that will eventually be on there have already been linked in previous posts anyway (Morzine Vallee d'Aulps and Time Megeve, which has artificially deflated the distances this year with a split start/finish route).

There was the JPP (the 1990s footballer put on a sportive) in early June last year, with a summit finish in Les Carroz. It's moved later in the year for 2011 but something might take it's place in the calendar.

There's the Grand Bo as well, but I suspect it's too late in June for your really.
