Ridemeister Ventoux Gravel Edition with Bram Tankink

The Cycle Coffee Society Ventoux House is a luxury, bespoke cycling accommodation, located in the heart of Bedoin. Specially designed to meet the 'out of category' quality requirements of professional athletes as well as you; our guests.

As opposed to just the summer months, you can't really name the perfect month for gravel riding in Provence, even in the fall and spring there is still some lovely sunshine to discover our gravel routes around Mont Ventoux and Provence. For a select few, we are offering a gravel training week at our CCS Bedoin home. The days will be filled with great rides. We will also go the fourth and still fairly unknown way up the Mont Ventoux; the so called "Les Graviers du Ventoux". A special edition RIDEMEISTER shirt is included. The delicious food will be prepared by our local chef and of course there is the great coffee.

You will be treated like a professional gravel rider in all respects; with a personal coach and bike guidance from none other than gravel specialist and ex-pro Bram Tankink, mechanical support and if necessary we offer an additional massage and sports nutrition package.
