I did the l'etape last year and it was horrendous, it was 30 degrees plus and the feed stations were appalling with no isotonic drinks. I was cramping in both legs and had to result to walking/sitting down in the shade on the Col Joux de plane.
Then to top it all off, when I finished and had to sit down because I felt sick (I think I was suffering form heat exhaustion) I sat in melting tarmac.
I'm interested in the jersey if it's still available and happy to donate to the forum but I don't live in London so would need posting if possible. I'm 6ft4", 82Kg so it may be a little baggy on me, but i'm only going to get fatter as I get older!
