    Heading over for the 2weeks.
    Has anyone rented road bikes and gear in or around Nice/Antibes ?
    Any routes that you used?

    I have googled the s*** out of it, but theres not much that pops up , so i thought id ask if anyone on here had been there .

    Col d'eze is a must, in nice, also from monaco, there is lances favourite climb, the one inwhich depending on time, he knew he would win the tour....so trek named a bike after it, the col d madone!!

    Lots of cycling routes around from antibes...stayed for a few weeks a couple years back, above are reachable and any road you take will be littered with pro's!!

    Col de Vence
    Col de la Madone
    The Nice collines are great, follow the Paris Nice last stage route to find it.
