Le Loop - supporting the William Wates Memorial Trust

Le Loop follows the official route of the Tour de France, one week ahead of the professionals and finishes 21 stages later in Paris. We start at the end of June in Barcelona.

Participants commit to raising a minimum amount for the William Wates Memorial Trust (WWMT). 

The fundraised money is entirely separate from the participation fee - donations do not pay for our Tour rides. 

All monies raised go directly to the William Wates Memorial Trust whose mission is to help the most disadvantaged young people keep away from a life of crime and violence and fulfil their potential. This is achieved by giving grants to charities that engage young people through the medium of sports, arts and education.

It's been a tough couple of years for charities and particularly for young people. This is our chance to give something back and help support young people who aren't lucky enough to enjoy the advantages in life that most of us take for granted.

Le Loop is no small undertaking. Riding even ONE stage of the Tour de France route is going to hurt! Please reward our pain by giving generously.

Merci!

Old enough to know better ...

Sunday 15th Feb
We are really looking forward to having a go at this year's route of the Tour de France 🚲. 

It is a wonderful opportunity.  We are old enough to know better.... but still young enough to do it anyway! 😀

We are raising funds for the William Wates Memorial Trust to help provide opportunities to those, less fortunate, who have not had the opportunities they deserve. 

We hope you can join us in this journey and sponsor us for our efforts over 3 weeks, 3,333 km & 55km of climbing. That's more climbing than a vertical marathon! 

We will keep you posted as we press on with our training. Here's hoping for some dry weather.

Many thanks
