My story
Back in December Al was having a pint with Jonno down at
The Trinity. He was telling Jonno all about this fantastic event last year in
which he and another 8,000 cyclists got to ride one of the stages of the Tour
de France just a couple of days before the pros turned up. Al explained that
2009 was going to be a very special year because the route will incorporate the
legendary (to cyclists) Mont Ventoux - a mountain so fierce that the 22km climb
to the top remains 'unclassified'. Of course, being the Tour de France, the
route has been spiced up by requiring participants to cycle a cool 150km before
the climb even begins. Concerned that Jonno didn't quite appreciate the enormity
of the challenge Al went on to point out that Ventoux is where Britain's most celebrated
cyclist, Tom Simpson, died of a heart attack just a couple of km from reaching
the summit. Finally, Al suggested it might be fun to have a go and, in a flourish of inebriated enthusiasm (which he has since had cause to regret), Jonno agreed.
