This is a blog to cover my little adventure of cycling from London to the French Alps, followed by some mountaineering, in Aug/Sept 2010.
The cycle ride is to raise money for charity, The Princes Trust. Please enjoy the read, the photos and the videos, and I hope that my physical, narrative and pictorial efforts not only entertain you in your lunch break or whenever you are reading this, but also inspire you to give some of your hard-earned cash to charity, to help those who need a little extra support so that they can make the right next step in their lives.

et enfin, du vin
I couldnt resist a bit of red wine on the banks of the loire tonight. To translate baron philippe de rothschild- wine is born, then it lives, but it never dies, because in man it lives on. More on food and drink soon. Cheers!
James, So you have bit the bullet and done it.. i'm impressed. Apologies for not joining you on the stint from London, but I was suffering from tad bit of ironman fatigue. i'm wrapping up my races in early september so will hop on my bike in pursuit of you! So is life on the saddle everything you expected? Rory
Eat before you are hungry. Drink before you are thirsty. Rest before you are tired. Cover up before you are cold. Peel off before you are hot. Don't drink or smoke on tour. [?] Never ride just to prove yourself. Paul de Vivie, aka Velocio (1853-1930)
Brilliant!!! How are the legs?
