On the 27th August 2011, I plan to start my Tour de France or Bust challenge. I will be cycling the route of the 2011 Tour de France on a day-by-day basis, without a team car or any other assistance. That’s 3471kms. which include 6 mountain stages and 4 summit finishes, as well as climbing the Galibier twice.
That gives me 34 weeks in which to train for this challenge.
Below is my training diary for those 34 weeks.
