La Time Megeve Mont Blanc rideAssuming a suitable XXL size shirt can be found for me, a West Suffolk Wheelers jersey will be worn when I enter the Time Megeve Mont Blanc ride on 6 June. I'm aiming to ride is a minimum of 85km and hopefully 115km including at least 3 mountains that are used by the Tour de France, namely the Col des Aravis, Col de la Criox Fry & Crest Voland. The 115km option climbs 2,900 metres - Ben Nevis is only 1,344m and Hartest Hill is....let's just say Suffolk isn't the best training place for an Alpine ride! I'm riding in memory of my late son Jack, who tragically died in his sleep days before his 18th birthday of a rare, undetected heart condition called Brugada Syndrome. Those who read ProCycling last month would have seen an article on Team Sky's French rider Nicolas Portal who, luckily, was discovered to carry a similar genetic problem and has lost a chunk of his career but not his life. Team Sky are working with the charity CRY to monitor the team, and I will be raising funds & awareness for CRY via my website www.justgiving.com/roger-maddams Last Updated (Wednesday, 26 May 2010 20:05) |
