Planning a trip or a bike tour? Here's an evening to help you get started!
We'll give you lots of tips and tricks for planning and mapping your next adventure.

Whether you're a "total improviser" or a "super planner", we'll suggest various methods, from the most basic to the most refined, for planning your next cycling adventure:

Knot points: let this international system be your guide

The good old paper card: timeless and disconnected

Komoot, Strava or another application: a simple tool that allows you to go into detail (with smartphone or GPS).

Planning a long-distance crossing of Europe: the Transcontinental example

We'll talk Strava-art, elevation changes and headwinds to avoid, refuelling, surface quality and useful shortcuts.

After a presentation of these different approaches, we will propose live planning exercises (maps or computer).
All this around 4 travelling cyclists (Denis Lobet, François de Gaultier, Pierre-Antoine Rappe and Sébastien Nolens alias SebiCicleta).

Free evening, small cycling bar and good atmosphere as usual!
