Well Sprints did it. He completed the Raid Alpine – the mountain section of the Tour de France – in aid of raising money for Special Effect. He aimed to raise £1000 and he’s well over that now so very well done.
Of course, you can still donate at http://www.justgiving.com/Mark-Sprintall – every penny helps!
It took 7 days to complete – that’s an average of about 10 hours a day of straining, chafing and skidding per day. Then going to bed and doing it all again.
He kept a diary of the event – so if you want to see a day-by-day account of how gruelling it was (or to see downright disturbing pictures of grown-blokes in Lycra) download the pdf below:
