A friend of a friend has just ridden up Mount Ventoux on a 1970s Raleigh Chopper to raise money for Leuka - a Leukemia research charity.

Stats: 2hr 10m in 1 hit, overtaken by 11 cyclists using these new fangled carbon lightweight bikes, OVERTOOK 41. Video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154149061890195

Great video though I agree, and good choice of music!

I hate how people can't video properly - turn the flipping mobile phone/camera to landscape.... :evil:

Chapeau to the bloke riding the Chopper though.
