Louise will be participating in Le Cure 2023 and will attempt to cycle 438 kilometers and climb 8,831 vertical metres.
Since starting Le Cure, Louise has cycled the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest 2.70 times, and cycled around the m25 4.22 times! That's 23,923 vertical metres and 793 kilometres.
Dinner on the last night in beautiful Cervinia, looking round the room and feeling full of gratitude: for my body for somehow getting me to the finish line, for the wonderful friends I had made along the way, for my sponsors, and for not having to ever get on a bike again. And yet here I am again .....
The first day - I was terrified, had no idea how to pace myself and went out too fast (albeit still at the back!). Once I realised you can, in fact, cycle up a mountain slower than my 6 year old can walk, everything got better.
Pace yourself. Take good snacks. Pack for all seasons. All the fun people ride at the back.
