I live in de Beauvoir Town across the borough border in Hackney, and used to ride with the (now defunct?) CC Islington. I grew up in Paris and was brought up on the Tour de France. I only took up serious riding in 2000, following chronic lower back problems caused by running. I'm an older rider but reasonably fit, and will be celebrating my birthday by tackling the Mont Ventoux (for the 4th time) with family & friends at the end of May - the Swains Lane reps sound like good preparation!
