2023 - support the rescrub
Many readers will know about Le Loop which follows the official route of the Tour de France, one week ahead of the professionals and finishes 21 stages later in Paris, some 3,400kms later.
Riders commit to raising a sum for the William Wates Memorial Trust (WWMT). The money raised is entirely separate from the participation fee. WWMT helps disadvantaged young people to stay away from a life of crime and violence and encourages them to fulfil their potential.
My experience of 2017 tells me that the ride will get rough. Please could you provide some performance enhancement by contributing towards my WWMT fundraising target. There's never an easy time to give so I simply ask that you do so now. If you can find it within yourself to double whatever number initially springs to mind, then more can be done to help young people who face grim situations. I can't offer much in return, but I will relay the dark comedy that lies ahead with those who are interested.
Thanks in advance to any and all who he££p,
Quintus

Q - I quote below from a paragraph of your reports last time you did this, six years younger. Enough said - M "Over 1,000 miles have been ridden and yesterday alone saw 15,500 feet of climbing. Various body parts are failing. Clearly my mind failed first, as some of you advised me at the outset. I am forming the view that the TdF race is inhuman(e) and I cannot understand how people can race what feels like a miracle simply to complete. Conditions have continued to be unkind but better weather is forecast as we move to the Dordogne. ."
