Since starting Le Cure, Derek has cycled the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest 5.27 times, and cycled around the m25 8.33 times! That's 46,650 vertical metres and 1,566 kilometres.

Le Cure Highlight:

Cheering in the last rider on the last climb of the last day. There isn't a finer example of keeping the best till last (the rider and the cheering)!

Toughest Moment:

Col du Glandon in the mist on the last morning of Le Cure 2018. I couldn't have done it without the riders around me!
