The Giant of Provence, the Domain of Angels - no mountain stirs the cyclists soul like the Ventoux.....

This August I am going to attempt to ride the 3 main routes to the summit - from Sault, Bedoin, and Malaucene - in one day. Each ascent is over 20km long and if I manage to succeed I will join the Club des Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux........

I am taking on this challenge to raise funds for the Epsom RDA. They provide a fantastic service for the disabled. Please do give generously, they deserve our support and your donation, large or small, will make a difference and allow them to keep helping children with special needs.

You can watch the pro peloton race up the Ventoux in this years Tour de France as the finale to Stage 12, on Thursday the 14th July. My own attempt a month or so later will not have the live tv coverage and slightly fewer support cars and helicopters - but you can monitor my, slow and painful, progress online. Let me know and I will add your email address to the live tracker....
