From the organ loft to the top of Alpe d’Huez! 🚴⛰️
Last Sunday our Cathedral Organist, Stephen Bryant, completed L’Étape du Tour de France — 100 miles, four Alpine climbs and 5,500m of ascent, crossing the line on Alpe d’Huez after eleven and a half hours in the saddle. Of the 17,000 riders who set off, only 12,171 made it to the finish — with Stephen just inside the top 10,000. Two days later he was back up the mountain again… “for fun”.
Chapeau, Stephen! 🏅
