With a record breaking 800 participants this year, a small team of 20 UK riders including myself, are heading to the south of France for this incredible long distance competition to take on the French and the Tramontana storms that blew 60 knots there last year!

With two or three 20 mile races a day, and 800 people on the startline, I'm going to this event purely to participate in what is such an extraordinary spectacle. May 1-5, full report in a couple of months.
