Steve Truluck

I’ve been on a few charity cycle rides now but none are likely to compare to this! London to Chamonix 2010 was the closest but that involved cycling to the Alps – this time we are going over them and cycling double the distance.

I can’t wait to get started in August and I’m massively looking forward to the adventure as it unfolds whilst taking in the scenery, the wildlife, the banter, getting to know James, seeing Kyle in the support van when I need him to be there and most importantly raising a substantial amount of money for 2 very worthwhile charities. I wonder what’s going to happen to us this year?!!

I am not looking forward to 2 weeks worth of George’s jokes, Stu’s idea of an ‘easy day’, Stu’s shortcuts (road bikes are not designed for cornfields!), cycling on unexpected sections of dual-carriageways, strong headwinds (especially if downwind from Paul), Adrian’s snoring, trying to find Paul’s mobile phone (this will be the 3rd one he’s lost out cycling) and being anywhere near Paul when he forgets to unclip his feet from his pedals (esp. in a busy McDonalds car-park!!).
