Étape du Tour 2010: taking on Tourmalet - Telegraph - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel...
"Today's 17th stage of the Tour de France sees riders take on one of the competition's toughest climbs: the Col du Tourmalet. Last week, Charles Starmer-Smith took part in the Étape du Tour, and tackled the agonising 113-mile stage himself. Here, he recounts the final gruelling climb." - Chester
