About the event:
The TECHY bit:
The Mountain of Hell is a 25km mountain bike race over glaciers, rock, snow, ice, single track and other bike & bone breaking terrain. There are qualifying races over 3 days, with the final race on Sunday 20th July 2008. The 2008 event will see over 400 entrants, a mixture of professional & amateur riders from all over the world, start on Les Deux Alpes glacier, altitude 3400m, kitted out in full body armour & helmets (compulsory) as riders risk falls & crashes throughout the 25km race.
The PARKY bit:
The Parkinson’s Disease Society works to help the 120 000 people & their families suffering from Parkinson’s Disease in the UK and funds vital research into the cause, prevention, treatment & cure of Parkinson’s. Check out www.parkinsons.org.uk for more information.
