Simon W was as kind as to share a '100 passes' ride from 2005 with me, pre-cut into a .gpx format.
I have taken the liberty of:
(1) Sharing it here, via Dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1u7djq3po6ou4q/RiDE 2005 Centopassi.GPX?dl=0
(2) Adding in a route from RiDE's excellent 'Guide to France' that will take a rider from Calais to Grenoble, from where (via a short in-fill I just dropped in) it's possible to pick up the '100 passes' route.

Is it all perfect? I haven't checked it all, though it certainly looks OK. I chose to add in RiDE's route to Grenoble, as it was a good opportunity to promote RiDE's efforts to create and share routes and as it suited what I wanted to show, being:
(a) That it's possible to beg, steal or borrow routes from several sources, mix them together, add a bit in to suit yourself and you've got yourself a holiday.
(b) That it's possible to find ideas and work out alternatives for yourself, without necessarily going straight out with an appeal of: "I want a route to, down great roads...." all without too much effort.
(c) That it's possible to do it all in BaseCamp, without cheating and without any problems.
Have fun and be sure to let Simon W (and us) know how you get on.

PS You want to come home from Nice? Easy.... Reverse the route. Better still, work out your own way.... The answers are out there, have a go. it's fun, it's free and they can't touch you for it.
