We are taking on an epic cycling challenge: Le Loop.
This summer, a group of us are taking on one of Europe’s toughest endurance cycling challenges: the Le Loop Grande Loop.
It is not a race. It is a sustained test of physical resilience, mental focus, and commitment — ridden over consecutive days, across legendary Alpine climbs, with minimal recovery and no shortcuts. I’m doing it for a reason that goes well beyond the bike.
The Challenge at a glance
- 21 consecutive stages
- 3,500 km across Spain and France
- 54,450 metres of total elevation gain
- The equivalent of climbing Mount Everest almost six times from sea level
If you believe effort should mean something, and challenge should serve a purpose, I invite you to support this ride.
Thank you for backing the miles, the climbs, and the cause.
