As if to prove that CrossFit helps you prepare for the unknown and the unknowable, CrossFit Londoner Carlos is off to ride a stage of ‘Le Tour’ (for charity). Pretty bad-ass.
Etape du Tour route
The Etape du Tour rides through a stage of the Tour de France. This year the Etape is going through Stage 17 which goes from the town of Pau, over 3 mountain tops ,and finishes on the monumental Col du Tourmalet, the highest road in the Central Pyrenees. It’s a mere 181km, with the last 41km being an up-hill ride to the top of the mountain. So no biggie…
Carlos is one of the brave band of early morning CrossFit Londoners; dragging himself out of bed at an ungodly hour to train at 0630!
