On the 30th of June I will riding the Vaujany Master cyclo sportive in the French Alps. This is single day event with a total distance of 173km which is around 108 miles and the profile is shown below.
This is a significant challenge to me as at 17.5 stone I'm not currently built for climbing so I need to to lose a fair chunk of weight to improve my power to weight ratio.
Just to add a little incentive I have decided to raise money for the North West Air Ambulance as the thought of people sponsoring me will keep riding when I want to stay in bed and keep me on track with regards to my diet. If you'd like to sponsor me you can click on the Just Giving badge on the side of my blog or if you are viewing this on a mobile device you can click here.
I've also added a Strava panel so you can see if I'm doing my training or slacking off and I will update the blog at least once a week with what I am up to.
I'll be starting training tomorrow (Thursday) as the festive celebrations are finishing tonight although the alcohol ban has already come into force.
