Cycling the 2023 Tour de France

Welcome to my blog!!

2023 is the hilliest Tour de France ever and in support of the William Wates Memorial Foundation (WWMT) as part of Le Loop, I will be attempting to ride the whole thing - 3,400km across 21 days with almost 50,000m of elevation.

Supported by my amazing partner Karen (without which none of this would be possible) and our boys Harrison, Jude, Josh and Ethan, the journey will have successes, failures, highs, lows, laughs and probably tears along the way. If that is your thing, then I look forward to sharing them....let's do this!
