Dear all;

This years crazy event is the Etape de Legende in France, which aims to recreate one of the famous Tour De France stages of Tour legend Eddie Merx, but unfortunately includes a fair few rather nasty hills and +200 kilometres of road in 10 hours... fortunately there's no Alpes or Pyrenees to contend with; but Im hoping not crash off any mountain roads in the Vogues mountains near Strasbourg, and to show a clean pair of heals to some of the Germans and French.

Anyways, once again, Im doing this event for Crisis, who I think do a fantastic job around London and other cities, for seriously disadvantaged and vulnerable people.

So please donate as much as you can for this charity, and Ill do my best to make it across the finish line.

Mike
