Just wanted to say a massive thanks to you and all the team in France. We had an absolutely amazing day yesterday at Col de Tourmalet, surpassing all our expectations. I got to the top! Ebike was so awesome - so much so I began to wonder if I could have had the legs without it! Had a little race with the pro rider too! All great fun. Couldn’t have asked for more and your help without was a relief and made it so much easier.
