Well, I got a place on next year's Etape du Tour Acte 1, which will take place on Sunday 8th July. This Etape replicates stage 11 of the 2012 Tour de France and is a 139.5km passage from Albertville to La Toussuire. It features famous Tour passes such as the Col de la Madeleine, Col du Glandon and Col de la Croix-de-Fer.
It will be a bit 'hilly' through the Alps, but the scenery will be well worth the effort. I will have to start training again soon, after all the xmas parties are out of the way!
