[Foothill Cycle Club: 2502] France cycling trip anyone?

Hello FCC Members, This year a cycling group that I have ridden with for years is heading to France for a 2 week tour. Below is the ride description from the attached tour brochure. The Great Crossing of the Massif Central by road bike: from Clermont-Ferrand, passing through the typical volcanoes of Auvergne to arrive at the sea in the pretty town of Sète, "the Venice of Languedoc." With every turn of the wheel, you will discover an impressive variety of landscapes: the Chaîne des Puys, Mont Dore, Causse Méjean, the Aubrac plateaus, the Cirque de Navacelles... These medium-sized mountains are ideal for road cycling, with very little traffic and plenty of variety. You can climb the passes used by the 2020 Tour de France: Col de Ceyssat, Col de Guéry, Col de Néronne and Pas de Peyrol (the highest road pass in the massif), as well as the famous Mont Aigoual! The local cuisine is not to be outdone. You will also stop off in one of the most beautiful villages in France: Saint-Guil...
