'Volunteered' by Darren to buy a bike and join Powerday R2R. 

This year to train for the Tour de Force we will be riding 2 laps the Isle of Wight Randonnee (200km), the Dragon Ride in South Wales (130-190km), and the Great Western Sportive in Swindon (160km).  And then comes the Tourmalet...

I'm riding the last 4 stages of the Tour de Force on a bike I built myself (with a little help from Webbs of Warmley in Bristol, www.webbsofwarmley.co.uk). 

Please help me raise money for the William Wates Memorial Trust at www.bmycharity.com/gileswilliamsTdF
