Cycling is a sport most people are aware of but have little interest in. To them a bicycle, not to be confused with that other bike the motorcycle, is merely something that they use to get around town when it's not raining.

However over the years I have broken this for three week's a year for the event known as the Tour De France. Now for those who don't know the Peleton as it's know is a three week cycle race round France. It covers nearly 3,500km and passes through both the Pyrennes and the Alps. It must be classed as one of the great feats of human endevour, though not without controversey due the incidences of doping over the years.
