I'm raising funds for Street Doctors and other youth charities with the William Waites 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, some 3,400kms later.
Riders tackle one of a selection of "Loops" riding anything from 2 to all 21 stages of the Tour de France route. Every participant commits 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 my Tour.
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 my 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 my pain by giving generously.
Merci!

Isle of Wight MTB ride - Chaotic for me
Wednesday 14th JunMy only option was to take a Mountain Bike and ride a shorter route than all the others. Also with my usual GPS unavailable I had to use a phone - with erratic results as you see from the plot. And I rode in trainers (no clips) and finally by back brakes fell out. My fault. So from Freshwater I bolted back for the ferry through the middle of the island hoping to avoid any more dramas. End result was an rather chaotic, wet day, and some more miles towards the impending Loops clocked up. Share

You're doing a wonderful thing here Pete, and so are the charities you are supporting. It's so painful to see such disadvantaged young people miss out on the security, love and laughter that we take for granted. These youngsters are amazing, I've met the young carers who turn up to school exhausted, or the neglected and abused who don't want to go home at the end of the day. They deserve safety, care and good people in their lives and all the help they can get. On ya Pete, pedal your little legs off! B x
