Tour De Force

News of my next event, leaving 5th July for the 'Tour De Force'

Intro - William Wates Memorial Trust  www.wwmt.org 

The William Wates Memorial Trust is a registered charity set up in 1998 with a mission to help disadvantaged young people fulfill their potential, and stay away from a life of crime, using the medium of sports, arts and education.

On Saturday 19th June 2010, the Tour De Force riders left Rotterdam in Holland and began riding the 2010 route of the Tour De France. They are staying a fortnight ahead of the professional riders and will arrive in Paris on Saturday 10th July.

The Tour De Force riders can do as many or as few stages as they wish. Each of them raising money for the charity. At this stage I cannot confirm how many will ride each stage, or even if any intend to do the whole route.

My participation in the event will be as mechanic and no doubt as a driver/navigator. Duties that I’m now all too familiar with, in various parts of the world.

My journey begins on 5th July, when I fly to Pau in the Pyrenees to join the group near the Col Du Tourmalet. I’ll be providing my services from here until the end of the tour in Paris

Hope to update regularly now that I'm loaded up with modern mobile communication technology!

Adios.
