John's Tour de Force

This blogging idea got started in the build-up period before my charity bike ride in the French Alps in the summer of 2006. That done, I said I wanted to stop....but was told to go on. I'm not hot on anything IT, see, but that only seems to trigger offers of support. It's lovely….but it narrows my excuses. I'm just an ordinary guy who finds himself surrounded by the somewhat surreal. Some of the things that send my thinking systems into a spin are listed here intermittently. Read on.

Yellow jersey rider makes it home

This is the closest you get to proof.....me and the bike and the special Tour de Force top.
I did it. I got myself over the finish line in 15 hours.
That was one big long day and some more....it needed a 2-hour spill over into the following morning to reach the final destination, the burgeoning ski-station of Tuissuire.
But its done and that's £10,500 for charity.
So a big, big thank you to all for your generosity.
