The
Big 7 challenge
Simon
Ferguson and Tim Grimble, in May 2009, are planning to cycle from
Paris to Nice in aid of the JWCT. The gruelling cycle takes in
over seven of the Tour de France's highest and most famous passes
including the legendary Col du Galibier, the 21 switchbacks of
the Alpe D'Huez and the foreboding Mont Ventoux. The intrepid
pair plan to complete the 700 miles (1,120 km) journey in seven
days. Please support their marathon efforts here.
