What happens when a guy turns 50? Some guys buy a corvette and a gold chain. Others drop into their easy chairs and put their feet up. Bob decided to cycle mountain passes of the French Alps and he invited 9 friends along. This blog will follow our attempt to spend 7 days cycling the big climbs of the Alps in France. Age, training, fitness, health, nutrition, and 'bikers-butt' will all play a part in how many miles we can ride and feet we can climb in a week. Or not - the wine and food are supposed to be fine in the South of France.
