Willta a España

Having cycled the 1968 Tour de France route in 2018 to celebrate my 50th birthday and raise nearly £100k for charity we are back - this time attempting the 1968 Tour of Spain - the Vuelta A España.

The ‘68 TdF at 4651km and 56,125 metres of climbing over 24 days compares with '68 Vuelta course of 3136km and 30,228 metres of climbing over 18 days but with no rest days so a different sort of challenge.

We will actually be doing a few more Km than the riders back in 1968 as stage 15 was cut short when ETA blew up the road and the stage was abandoned!
