Ben Muller, Edward Gant, David & Jonathon Wallis are raising money for Jersey Hospice Care in memory of David & Jonathon's father, Derek Wallis, who passed away whist in the care of Jersey Hospice, in November 2015. Jersey Hospice provided great support to Derek and his family and we are honoured to be taking on the challenges of cycling Mont Ventoux and the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100.

In mid-July 2016, coinciding the Tour de France, Edward, David and Jonathon will be cycling up Mont Ventoux in Southern France. Roughly a 100 kilometre round trip, cycling Mont Ventoux involves a 21 kilometre climb to the peak, at an average gradient of 9%. Mont Ventoux is often cited as one of the hardest climbs in cycling...

"Physically, the Ventoux is dreadful. Its climate  makes it a damned terrain, a testing place for heroes, something like a higher hell."

"The Ventoux is a god of Evil, to which sacrifices must be made. It never forgives weakness and extracts an unfair tribute of suffering."
Roland Barthes, French philosopher and cycling fan.

At the end of July, Ben, Ed, David and Jonathon will be tackling the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100. A 100 mile cycle starting at the London 2012 Olympic Park in East London, riding out into the Surrey hills, and culminating with a sprint down The Mall.
