    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!!
