My challenge is to cycle a gruelling 800 miles in 8 days from Paris to Nice taking in two of the Tour de France's most famous climbs, the relenting, barren, legendary "Windy Mountain", Mont Ventoux and if that wasn't enough, then take in every single one of the iconic 21 hairpins that make up Alpe d'Huez.

I need to raise £1,000 for Willen Hospice to take part in this iconic cycle ride, please support me.
