Each year a group of us go to the French Alps to watch a day of the "Tour de France" and spend the rest of the week trying to emulate our heros on our own bikes! This year Andrew, Alan, Ian and I are going back to the Alps, but this time to raise money for a charity. We intend to climb the equivalent of Mount Everest between us in just 6 days of riding. It is going to be tough but enjoyable!
