In September 2013 I will be attempting the Raid Pyrenean.

NEWS: Lucy now has a blog for her Training at http://lucy.zifiru.co.uk

The Raid is a classic challenge to cycle from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean covering approximately 710 kilometres and climbing over 18 cols many of which are featured in mountain stages of the Tour de France.

The ride also includes over 11000 metres of vertical ascent (over 36,000 ft in old money)

I am riding for charity in memory of a good friend I lost in 2012.  Details of the specific charities are on the charities page of this site along with ways to either sponsor me or donate to the charities. 

On this site I will be sharing my experiences and allowing people to follow my progress through training, planning and hopefully completing the endeavour.
