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.
