The Tour De France is the worlds most prestigious bike race and considered by many to be the greatest test of human endurance. This year you have the chance to peek inside of the world of the Tour De France and connect with the Tour in a new and unique way. Each day for the 21 days of the Tour you will be riding the same distance as the Tour De France riders. The good news you don't have to go to France or summit the Mt. Ventoux. You can ride the Tour right from your living room on your trainer or on your favorite bike routes.
And the best part - you don't have to ride the 2156 miles alone! You may combine your miles with your teammates (2, 4 and 6 person teams). The Tour De Virtuel is a game of strategy. Work with your teammates to create the best strategy to take home the yellow jersey.
Each day your team will complete the prescribed stage distance. There are 21 stages with 2 rest days built in. There is also an optional sprint stage which is an individual competition. See the Stage Schedule below.

Tandem - 2 Person Team - Male/Female and CoEd Team options

A few ground rules:
For Teams:
Le Tour De Virtuel Ride Schedule and Mileage Breakdown.
Here is how this will work: On Day 1 - 8/29 - Stage 1 is 106 miles. If you are riding solo you will ride 106 miles. If you are a 2 person team - Rider A can ride 106 miles and Rider B can take a rest day. OR Rider A and Rider B can each ride 53 miles. Same concept with a 4 or 6 person team. You can split the milage anyway you would like as long as your team logs 106 miles on day 1. Le tour De Virtuel is as much about riding as it is about strategy!
