Challenge 2026 - 4 stages of the Tour de France
On the 8th July 2026 I will ride Stages 11-14 of the Tour de France from Vichy to Belfort as part of the charity event Le Loop. Over the 4 days, we'll cover 700km and climb 9,500m including the longest stage of this year's Tour of 205km!
I will be riding in support of the William Wates Memorial Trust (WWMT). The fundraised money is entirely separate from my participation fee - donations do not pay for my "holiday".
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.
