Reve - Six amateur ladies cycle the Tour de France

Harrybelafonte

"In what we believe will be a first for women’s cycling, a team of six amateur women will take on the ultimate road cycling challenge of a complete grand tour. Starting in Liège one day ahead of the pro peloton our riders will complete the entire parcours of the 2012 Tour de France arriving in Paris on the 21st of July. In the process they’ll prove to themselves, other female cyclists, and women thinking about taking up the sport, that any bicycle dream is possible."

I've been following the blog by one of the riders taking part in this...at the last post after stage 14... 111hrs in the saddle :eek: almost double the amount of time wiggins has taken and he's done an extra stage on top of that!

What an adventure and i find it pretty inspiring
