fills a bit time, will be interesting to see if he finishes. I do like the first comment at the end of the article. :roll:

    I would say unlikely with that level of training but fair play to him for trying

    Many do. There is always the bonkers option

    Depends on his mental toughness more than his prep I'd say.

    I'm going with yes, he will make it.
    Not climber, not sprinter, not rouleur

    we probably ought to set up a poll :)

    I was thinking more of the time limits which it make it difficult to complete or so I understand. I'm fairly certain I could complete the route, eventually :roll:

    You can have iron will but if you don't have the beans you don't have the beans......

    From a standing start to an Etape in three months is a big ask... If he was in shape before he might be OK but if he was struggling in Richmond park then he may be coming from a low base...

    Good luck to him though - hope he does it.
    Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

    What would Thora Hurd do?
