I've just done a 'reverse' Tour de France cycling over 500 miles/800 km from Paris to Leeds over 6 days! The challenge is: I'm a runner, not a cyclist. Cycling is therefore out of my comfort zone. I have not been on a bike over 20 years!
Always up for a challenge, I bought my first ever road bike at the end of 2013. Started cycling around an empty car park. Fell into some bushes on my 1st ride out...
I've put my marathon training on hold for this. I've stopped running?? I must be mad...
Jane Tomlinson and I worked in the same Hospital Trust in Leeds. Although our paths never crossed, she ran and cycled, a lot. Truly inspirational. I can't think of a better charity to raise funds for!
Pave to Cobble was born to celebrate Tour de France starting in Leeds. I'll be cycling with 5 other experienced cyclists supported by a team - they better not leave me behind!
Donating through JustGiving is simple and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.
