Outdoor Cycling Series Haut-Languedoc

The Outdoor Cycling Series is a self-supported bikepacking tour of France's regional nature parks, one weekend at a time, and this closing round of the 2026 season heads into the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Languedoc.

There is no clock, no ranking and no pressure: each rider follows a single loop at their own pace, choosing between a road and a gravel version of the course, and handles their own navigation, food and overnight stops. The organisers say every route is new, traced and reconnoitred kilometre by kilometre to link quiet country lanes and forest tracks through wild, unspoilt terrain.

Places are kept deliberately few to preserve an intimate feel, and the team behind Outdoor Series follows the field from start to finish. Their motto sums up the spirit: to each their own Everest.
