On the 15th September Ill be riding my bike up Mont Ventoux (twice), before tackling Alpe d'huez and the Col du Semnoz the following day. You may have seen these climbs in the Tour de France this year. I wont be going up them as quick as Chris Froome or even Mark Cavendish. For me its going to be hard work, but there are worse things that can happen. In my job I often talk to farmers about the effect that bovine tuberculosis has on them and their families. Often this can be tough for them and there's not that much I can do about it. But there are those who can, which is why Im raising money for the Farm Community Network. So in return for me grovelling up these mountains on my bike, maybe you could donate some money to them?

You can follow my training and see how fast I actually go up the Ventoux on Strava.

And now that Ive finished, you can see what happened here:
