 La Marmotte - 174km cycle, 5180m ascent Thanks to all of you who have generously donated already, >50% of target reached so far. If you haven't yet, you can help me reach the target here.

This weekend I spent most of it swashbuckling through the undergrowth in my garden. It has been neglected due to all the cycling. So not a single minute on the bike this weekend. I shall be making up for it by cycling into work in the coming week.

Last weekend was a different story however. A posse of us flew to Champery in Switzerland to get some real mountain training. 4 days of cycling and 355km later, I slowly came to the realisation just how difficult this Marmotte malarkey is going to be...

About a month left now, and a lot more training is required. The Swiss climbs were tough, but great training, and getting experience of the descents was also valuable, and scary! 70km/h downhill was the top speed reached.

Will post a map of thr route and photos when I get time. Things have been a bit hectic the last month.
