Jackie, Kevin, Harriet , Richard and Raza are colleagues from Birmingham Dental Hospital. They decided to take on the daunting challenge of riding a Womens Tour de France stage ( Tour de Femmes ) from Reims to Epernay.

This was the third stage of the 2022 tour. The stage is 133km in total over 2 days at the end of June 2023.

There are some quite challenging hills and some glorious country side but nothing could put off these brave novice cyclists

None of us had ever done anything like this before and their progress was incredible. They tracked their progress on social media too, so we could all wish them luck along the way.

They raised a staggering £2880 and we are incredibly grateful for their determination and endurance!
