THE "CYCLOSPORTIVE" RACE
June 20th 2010 : seventh edition of the Morzine/Vallée d'Aulps "Cyclosportive"

For all cyclists and cycle enthusiasts : the Vallée d'Aulps has great pleasure in inviting you all to the inaugural Morzine/Vallée d'Aulps "Cyclosportive" on Sunday 20 June.
It promises to be a huge festival for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
The programme : climbs and descents, with not much flat stuff in between just magnificent mountains to admire along the way.
The race is part of the Grand Trophée 2010, a race known the world over thanks to its infamous stages in Vaujany, La Marmotte and La Ventoux.

The Morzine/Vallée d'Aulps Cyclosportive is also part of a challenge "Haute-Savoie Cyclosportive Challenge" with 3 other cyclosportives : la JPP 9 de Coeur (June 12), la Grand Bo (June 27) and la Thorens-Glières (July 10).

On the day participants can look forward to souvenirs and prizes.
Take up the GRAND TROPHEE 2010 challenge and experience the thrill of a big race.
If you intend to race, bring your cycle helmet and come and enjoy what so many others get out of the sport : the feeling of freedom on the road, the sportsmanship and the satisfaction of participating in a "clean" sport.
