six months and four days to go until i embark on a mission to complete the entire course of the 2006 tour de france i am ted i am mad i must be it really is a verry long way to go on a bicycle especially when until recently i have despised the groups of lycra clad middle aged unsmiling geezers who roam the surrey countryside giving way to no one wearing rediculous helmets.when you also take into consideration that at the moment i weigh in at a hefty 14 and a half stone you may well laugh at this folly of mine. wish me luck . i hope to raise obcene ammounts of cash for charity.check out www.wwmt.org for details of the charity or www.wwmt.org/tourdeforce for details of the event
