Chris and Tim from Redcentric have signed up to complete the London to Paris cycle ride in support of Yorkshire Cancer Research.

The journey from London to Paris is 300 miles but just to add a sting to the tail they have decided to go the "extra mile." Instead of returning to England for a well earned rest they have decided to travel further South to Provence to pit their wills, fitness and stamina against the might of Mont Ventoux.

Mont Ventoux is widely regarded as the toughest mountain stage in the Tour de France and our intrepid Yorkshiremen will be hoping to emulate Eddy Merckx, Louison Bobet and Chris Froome as they tackle the 22km ascent.
