Jon will be participating in Le Cure 2026 and will attempt to cycle 397 kilometers and climb 10,059 vertical metres.
Since starting Le Cure, Jon has cycled the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest 6.41 times, and cycled around the m25 10.74 times! That's 56,684 vertical metres and 2,019 kilometres.
Tackling iconic TDF mountains and the camaraderie, all to fund promising research efforts by the Royal Marsden team.
Many - the bad weather on Iseran(2018), the last 500m (@20%) of Bonnette (2017), saddle sores going up Glandon (2018) and the post disco hangover in Sestriere (2017). Just adds to the experience.
Sounds obvious - do some training - esp long group rides, a fun way to get fitter. Eat and drink consistently to avoid bonking. Ride in groups for companionship and to help get through the tough bits.
