Why? Well I decided late last year it would be a great personal challenge on the occasion of my 50th birthday in May 2011 to get fit again, lose weight and take on an epic European bike tour with some friends & fellow cyclists. Its over 2600 km's with some stages on famous roads & mountain climbs as seen in Le Tour de France. So 3 weeks of riding, 2 rest days and according to the brochure - just some 35,000 metres of climbing! Thanks for your support. Best Regards, John M.

My Chariot...
This is what will help me get from Spain to Switzerland. It's brand new and I got it just a few weeks ago. It is a 2011 model Giant TCR Advanced SL1 Carbon Fibre road bike. Shimano DuraAce components, 20 speed gears, very lightweight and it is very nice to ride! It is the same frame and largely the same bike actually that the Dutch Rabobank-Giant European professional road racing team use. So I will look the part - even if I don't ride as quick as them!
