Story
As many of you will know I turned 50 back in April. To prove to myself that I am not a short, bald tubby middle aged bloke and instead of buying a fancy sports car or taking a mistress I decided to attempt something much less expensive or complicated.
I have entered Les Tour Du Mont Blanc on the 18th July! The
race has a reputation of being the toughest ONE day cycle race in the world:
-330 km
-9000 metres of ascent – that is more than Everest!!
-3 countries – France, Italy and Switzerland
-All in one day
I was initially not intending to do the race for charity but a friend of mine (Imogen Ward – CEO of the Lessons for Life Foundation) suggested I should re-think. I have since become a lot more familiar with the work of Lessons for Life and finishing the race for the charity (raising money to educate kids for a better life in Africa) has overtaken my ego as the primary motivation.
Please put your hand in your pocket and sponsor me.
Cheers, Paul
