Tour Le Tour in the greatest race in the world!
Hi,
I got an email the other day asking for some of the more detailed statistics of the ride. Now of course the big problem is that I don’t actually know what they are. For a start, I don’t yet have the exact location of the control points or the required sections. I’m expecting that these will be announced sometime Continue reading “A Few Key Stats”
I’ve been reading. Getting inspired. Specifically, I’ve been reading the blogs of Kristoff Allegaert, the guy who won the first edition of the race in 2013, backed up in 2014 to win the second edition, skipped the third edition to win the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme instead, and then came back in 2016 Continue reading “Waiting around for the weather to change is not a solution”
I’m amazed. Blown away. Within three days of launching my fund-raising for beyondblue I’m already over 15% of the way to my target. A huge thanks to everyone who has got behind this fantastic cause! For anyone still wanting to, there is plenty of time to head over here and donate.
Of course, now the pressure is on, I better ride well!

Ok, things are starting to gain momentum. As some of you may remember, in the past I have linked some of my more challenging rides to fund raising for charity. This was actually inspired by Lance Armstrong. I hold a grudge against the guy for the damage that he did to my sport, but I admire and respect the work he did to bring help and hope to a whole lot of people around the world. It inspired me to try and use my riding as a way to make the world a better place, and so for the PEdAL Ed Transcontinental Race I’m proud to say that I will be raising funds for beyondblue. If you want to help, you can donate here!
