I am considering a week's cycling somewhere warmer than the UK (last week Feb) and have stumbled across www.veloventoux.com. Their website mentions that members of the Clifton have spent holidays/training camps there. Anyone with experience to share?

Can anyone can recommend any other companies?

Thanks!

No personal experience of veloventoux but they're highly rated by the climbing people I used in that area this summer (who in turn are excellent). It's wonderful cycling territory - not sure what the weather's like in Feb tho - and easy to get to by Eurostar/TGV with a bagged bike.

I've stayed with them and highly recommend them. Say hi to Craig from me :)

Other companies - I also highly recommend Gastrobiking (http://www.gastrobiking.com/). There are a little further north in the Vecor, and work with VeloVentoux so it's easy to stay at both places in one holiday.

I'd go a little later in the year than Feb to the Vercor. Bit chilly! It shouldn't be too bad in Provence but you'll not be going up Mont Ventoux :(
