MY NEXT BIG CHALLENGE 🚴‍♂️

While I've been motoring across Asia and Europe during @heroerarally's Peking to Paris, I've been grabbing every chance I can to train for my next big challenge: my third go at L’Étape (@letapedutour), where one of the mountain stages of the @letourdefrance is opened up to amateur cyclists.

I'm doing it with my friend @anthonydash. And just before I left for China, Dashy and I had a punishing weekend of training in Wales.

🎥 This video is an amalgamation of the Stories shared at the time. Watch in full in the Highlight on my profile page.

This year’s L’Étape takes place on the slopes of the Alps - 131 kilometres, 4,500 metres of ascent, and five gargantuan climbs. It's on 20 July, less than four weeks after I get back from Peking to Paris!

🙏 I'm very worried I'm not going to be anywhere near fit enough. If you can offer me any encouragement, I'd be grateful!

A lot of cyclists love Cadaques, Rosas etc because of the roads and it’s between France and Spain, lovely area.
