Trained for 8 months, riding 10,000+ km and climbing 80,000+ metres to cycle 2015 Tour de France route (2088 miles in 23 days). Fell off my bike, 9 days before start. Wales Air Ambulance helicopter rushed me from quiet Llangollen country road to Stoke Hospital Intensive Care . 5 years later, after 10 months in hospital, 3 cardiac arrests & 7 major operations trying to repair mind and body, I feel ready to start repaying them…
