Hi

For almost the past 10 months or so I have been training to take part in quite easily one of the toughest challenges I have had the privilege to be part of. Along with 45 or so other like minded individuals I will be participating in The Tour of the Roses, a 10 day cycling extravaganza covering 1700 KMs across France including 16000 metres of climbing !

The Tour follows a route commencing in St Malo, Brittany and heads southeast via Orleans to the Alps, tracking past Lake Annecy and continuing over and through some of the famous French Alpine mountains and passes including Col du Pre, Le Lac and Cormet de Roselend (featuring in Stage 17 - Wednesday 19^th July of this year’s Tour de France), a summit of Col D’Iseran (Val D’Isere) and Col Petit St Bernard. From there we will descend through Grenoble and head to Provence, to potentially the highlight of the Tour – Mont Ventoux commonly referred to as the “Giant of Provence”.

All of this over a 10 day period (2nd - 11th September) and all in the name of a very good cause – The Smile for Georgie Foundation
