Fancy a 4,800km bike adventure all around the perimeter of France? Well that is exactly what is ahead for guest Samuel Thompson who is about to take on the Tour de France Randonneur challenge on June 15, 2025. This brevet route is a nod to the Touriste Routiers of old, and Samuel hopes to complete the challenge in under 13 days. In order to do so he must pass through 61 control points, and climb a whopping 45,000m of ascent.
