It brings together participating cyclists to take on all stages of Tour one day ahead of the pros –more than 1,175km and 18,795 metres of elevation in nine days. About 20 women are taking part, including Windsor woman Jill Willis, riding in memory of her late husband who passed away from leukaemia last year. “This [Tour de France] one is twice as long and twice as hard. They will be climbing to 1,910m, requiring good pacing and grit – and the final day in Nice is packed with climbing.
