Le Tour de Spin

A HUGE SUCCESS... £440 pounds raised for Action Medical Research - WOW!

I'm sincerely grateful to all who took part.
'Capag' Keith & Kerry Bullen, David 'EPO' Barnes, Stacey Cooley, Andy & Laurainne Colthart, Stuart Fitzsimon, Ansie Booyens, Anthony Falvey, Leslie Peacock, Bill Sandors, Kate Stevens, Jean Millard, James Butler, Ray Keeble, Alan Evans, Mo Touray, Lisa Davies, Gemma Clarke, Sam Anderson. You're money WILL make a difference. Thanks You.

A very special thank you to the wonderful Spinning instructors from Greens Health & Fitness who gave up their Sunday afternoon to lead us through the 2005 Tour de France in a record time of 3 hours!

Claudia, Joe, Leeand Gareth - whose generosity and organisation made this event possible - you are STARS!

I would also like to thanks Andy and Laurainne Coulthart whose brilliant graphic design skills attracted huge the crowds.

Last, but by no means least, I'd like to thanks Powerbar for their incredible generosity in providing a delicious 'goody bag' full of drinks, gels and bars and various other funky items - the first aid kit will no doubt come in handy on the road to Paris.

Here are some funky photo's of the inaugural 'Le Tour de Spin: 2007.'

Warming up - the noisy side of the studio!





Claudia gets things going with the 2005 time trial.


The Greens studio is a great venue and the huge Tour de France compilations are proving highly motivating for all.




Time to rehydrate.









Fifty minutes down, only one-hundred and fifty to go!








David, climbing the Galibier!





Joe, goes all Hor's Categorie!



We want the shirt!







We couldn't have done it without PowerBar!










Claudia just can't get enough!!!
























Here I am, in the rather fetching Action Medical Research cycling kit, toasting David and Stacey's fine effort.


















Half-way through.
