Hello! I am possibly mad and suffering at the latter end of my mid life crisis, or the start of my old age one. However, I have decided to ride the official route of the Tour de France, one week ahead of the professionals and finish 21 stages later in Paris, some 3,408kms (2118 miles) later and climbing Everest over 6 times (56739m of climbing). I am riding for the William Wates Memorial Trust.You are welcome to follow my journey, quite literally here. Having tried 3 previous tries, the first two being cancelled and being sent home with Covid after stage 3 last year, I am back to have another go! Links at the top inform you about the charity, the route, my training and my daily blog each day of the event.See how it’s going here.
