Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I have now completed the challenge of cycling a total of 450km (280 miles) over three consecutive days. 

I cannot in honesty describe it precisely as a fun experience - hills in France seem to be somewhat steeper and longer than English hills - I now have sore areas that have not been sore before - no further detail required! 

It was however very satisfying to complete the challenge especially after day 3 when I wondered as I set off whether I would make it.

Just to add to the pain I also managed a good case of sunburn on day 1.  Sympathy level from Annabel very limited owing to failure to apply sun cream!

There is a great atmosphere on the tour with lots of people putting in big physical efforts and lots of camaradarie.  A great tribute to Will's memory and to Jonny's organising ability and leadership.

The thought of the sponsors who had backed me spurred me on on day 3 so many thanks to you - all further donations will be gratefully received - you can feel assured that you are backing a tough challenge which I do not anticipate repeating! 

Many thanks

Tim
