Bevan Brittan Partner Gears Up For The Pyrenees

Bevan Brittan commercial partner Martin Howe is set to tackle one of the most difficult stages of the Tour de France when he participates in the Etapé du Tour on Monday 11^th July.

Martin, an amateur cyclist, has been grinding up the hills around Bristol over the past few months in preparation for the arduous event and is cycling to help raise money to equip the new Chemotherapy Unit at the Bristol Children’s Hospital.

This year’s Etapé covers a distance of 110 miles through the Pyrenees from Mourenx to Pau and involves four major climbs including the Col de Marie Blanque, a climb which was recently described by one professional rider as ’the one that everyone’s afraid of… all the way to the top you suffer’.

Martin commented: ”Whilst Lance Armstrong won’t have anything to worry I’m going to give it my best shot.  So, whilst I’m suffering, and rest assured I will be, I know it’s voluntary and short-lived and the money raised will help those not so fortunate.”
