Le Depart...
My first attempt at a blog so please bear with me..
I have followed the Tour de France for a few years and am constantly amazed at the feats that the riders put themselves through over 22 days.
A couple of months ago I decided that I would give it a go. No, not the real thing, but as close to the real thing as I can get - L'Etape du Tour - the chance for amateur cyclists to race over the same route as a stage of the Tour de France.
The route is not to be announced until 26th October - I look forward to finding out some more details about the task ahead - but I can't wait until then. I know that this is going to be no walk in the park, and if I have any chance of completing it, I need to take the next step straight away.
So, my immediate objectives:
* Fitness - Create a training programme;
* Weight - Create a diet plan;
* Gear - Research & purchase a bike, associated gadgets, accessories and kit.
Just 291 days to go. What the hell have I let myself in for???
