L’ETAPE DU TOUR ON THE 10 th July I fulfilled a lifelong ambition and completed a stage of the tour de France. Every year after the tour route is announced, the Velo magazine in France picks one of the stages either in the Pyrenees or the Alps, to hold L’Etape du Tour which is open to the public. This year it was held on the 191km stage between the beautiful town of Gap and the legendary alpine ski resort of L’Alpe D’Huez, which is famous for the 21 hairpin bends leading up to it. To get there we also had to climb over two other mountains, Col d’Izoard (2360m) and Col Du Lautaret (2058m). At 7am I set off with 7,548 other riders, it took 25 minutes for the last man to cross the start line. For the first 50+ kilometres a fast pace was set, mainly due to the fact that there are elimination times to beat. 30 minutes after the start, a car with a big clock on the roof, a lorry and a coach known affectionately as the “broom wagon” set off, and picked up everyone it caught up with!

What I had not bargained on was the increase in temperature on the road, it reached 40deg +, which drained me and I had to stop several times to fill up my water bottles, and this took time due to the fact there were several thousand riders all with the same idea. Eventually I reached the final straight and the finish, which was lined with crowds of people all cheering and adding to the whole buzz of the day. I crossed the line with less than one minute to spare and gratefully accepted my medal. It had been a long eleven hours in the saddle, which still feels part of me to this day! But yes I have signed up to do it again next year which may render the therapy from this year’s experience a waste of time. Above: Fraser Brown While doing this ride I have also raised some money for the Macmillan nurses and would like to thank my friends and neighbours for sponsoring me. Anyone else who feels they would like to contribute to my collection please feel free. Thank you.

His demonstrations were on the “Buy Local Eat Local” stand in the Food Hall. He appeared for two separate demonstrations on the Saturday of the show and was also asked to participate in “Meet the Expert” during the day. Gordon kept the sizeable audiences entertained with his skills and witty commentary and many of the interested members of the public took the opportunity to ask him for advice. Gordon received positive feedback from the event and he enjoyed the experience.
