£50K in and £50K to raise in sponsorship.

For a good cause obviously. Those figures boggle though.

a team of 20 cyclists will ride the entire 2015 Tour de France event one day ahead of the professionals. You’ll get the experience of riding with the same support as a pro-team: rolling road closures, team bus, service vehicles, motorcycle outriders, dedicated mechanics and full medical support as well as the cheers and support of the spectators already lining the course in anticipation of the Pros.

As a finale we’ll stay two nights at a beautiful 5-star hotel in Paris to both celebrate the achievement, recover from the previous 21 days and also to watch the pros arrive the day after. A truly once in a lifetime, bucket list event,

With all these “mind boggles” figures want to take a guess as to how much it all costs to do?

£100K?

A mate runs trips out that way.

A week £1.2K

Would you want to ride with Lance?

Personally no…. But then again I don’t want to ride around France in a fortnight either.
