Since starting Le Cure, Mark 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:

There are so many it's difficult to identify just one but it has to that first morning. The sun rising over Lake Annecy last year; the excitement, the trepidation and the Grand Depart. What a feeling it is to roll out with your fellow Curistas knowing that whatever happens you're going to share some great monents!!

Toughest Moment:

The cold at the top of the Iseran in 2018 and the Izoard the year before and knowing you've got to descend in the cold and wet!!

Top Tip

Eat before you need it......fuelling is key. Proper clothing. Remember you can always take something off if you're too warm but if you're cold and haven't got the right clothing you're in trouble!!
