Piers will be participating in Le Cure 2022 and will attempt to cycle 443 kilometers and climb 9,345 vertical metres.

Cycling Experience:

I cycle with St Margaret's Cycling club at least once per week. I recently cycled the Ride London-Essex 100. My most memorable cycle ride so far was LEJOG last year. We were very lucky with plenty of tail winds and not a drop of rain!

Biggest Fear:

The steepest slopes. When the road stays at 9% plus for a long duration it's a mental battle to get up it!

Reason For Doing This:

I am passionate about supporting cancer causes. Some years ago some friends and I raised a large sum for Children with Cancer; I supported them because a friends daughter got very ill with Leukaemia. I am very happy to say she is now fully recovered. Also, my father passed away of cancer some years ago, so I support cancer charities in his memory. Cycling wise I am looking forward to the challenge of back to back mountain stages, and I love the Alps!
