Hi
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Please take a few minutes to read through the text below
This year I will be back on the bike (hopefully not coming off to often). Hoping to complete 3 'adventures'...........
1.Job Done :-) May 20/21 we crossed the renown Coast to Coast route (Whitehaven to Newcastle, approx 140 miles). This trip was in memory of fellow cyclist Jill, who I (and the other members of 'the gang') met on the London to Paris ride in 2009.
Sadly Jill lost her battle with cancer late last year at the age of 34. Jill also did her fundraising for Marie Curie and was an inspiration in the face of adversity. A brave lady indeed.
2. Job Done…………………6 of the most notorious ‘Cols’ (mountains) in 3 of the most arduous cycling days I have ever completed. All used regularly on the Tour de France and 3 of them on this years race
Col des Aravis - 1,487m (4,879ft)
Col des Saisies - 1,650m (5,413ft)
Col de la Madeleine - 1,993m (6,539ft)
Col du Télégraphe - 1,566m (5,138ft) Col du Galibier - 2,646m (8,681ft)
Alpe D’Huez - 1,815m (5,955ft)
The combined climb - 11,157m (36,606ft) ………that’s 2,309m (7577ft) higher than Mount Everest
I said before I did this it was reserved for the insane I was right :-)
BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR DONATIONS
