Etape du Tour 2005
Tim was fastest finisher in the Cycling Plus 'team' and has his picture in the latest edition of the magazine (in the Tour supplement).

Mourenx - Pau 176 km

7885 would-be tour heroes started the annual 'Etape du Tour bike race over the 176km that would form stage 16 of this years Tour de France.  Climbing over 4 cols including the 'hors categorie' Col d'Aubisque.

After building up training miles from the start of the year, Tim completed the course in 6 hours 14 minutes, coming 271st out of the 7200+ finishers.

One week later, the professionals rode the same course and the winner, Oscar Pereiro, took only 4 hours 38  minutes, truly humbling!
