2006:
Hi. On the 10th July I raced along with 8,500 other amateur cyclists in l'Etape du Tour which followed exactly the same route that the Worlds top Pro cyclists raced over on Tuesday 18th July on stage 15 of the Tour de France.
The route started in the town of Gap and finished at the top of the legendary l'Alpe d'Huez and took in the monsterous Col d'Izoard and the Col de Lautauret. In total 187km with 4,100m worth of vertical ascent (half the hight of Everest). Of the 8,500 entrants to l'Etape only 5,500 successfully reached the finish. My time of 9hours 21 minutes placed me 3,506th.
But more importantly, my efforts have so far helped raise over £1,300 for Action Medical Research. (Including monies raised externally to this page.)
Thank you to all of you that have sponsored me.
Thanks
Rob Lines
