This makes perfect sense, but I can't believe it. Mark is one of the two guys I did an end-to-end ride through Malawi with, and he'd done the Fireflies Tour – an annual Geneva to Cannes ride in aid of Leuka, the UK leukaemia charity. A thousand kilometres taking in many of the most famous climbs in the alps in just eight days. Very tough.
Should I do it? Could I do it? There are no hills in The Gambia. I must be getting too old for this sort of thing. But those climbs, that scenery... And I might never get the chance again.
I'll email the organiser...
