Peace Pilgrimage 2021

In 2002 I joined my brother Chris for the last 250 miles of his cycling pilgrimage from le Puy to Santiago de Compostela. He died from Covid 19 on Good Friday last year. For a few years, he had had Alzheimer's disease, but was still able to live at home. I had hoped to do a ride this year to remember him – maybe Mont Ventoux, as Chris was a member of ‘Cinglés du Mont Ventoux’* (ascending all 3 roads to the 1910m summit in the same day).

However, foreign travel is not happening, and a Yorkshire Peace Pilgrimage will do nicely instead! Just as in 2001, I aim to do 250 miles in 5 days, keeping to the same daily distance as far as I can.

I am aiming to raise funds for both Pax Christi and Alzheimer's Research UK
