Mike Tindall has revealed that he has had to abandon his gruelling week-long charity bike ride owing to a wedding commitment on Friday
July 08, 2022 - 06:01 BST Phoebe Tatham Mike Tindall will abandon his gruelling charity bike ride due to a wedding commitment on the final day of the challenge.On last Wednesday's episode of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby which he co-hosts with James Haskell and Alex Payne, Mike opened up about the upcoming adventure and confessed:"I, fortunately, get the last day off as I have to be back for a wedding.
Poking fun at the pro sportsman, his fellow presenters quipped:"So you’re going to have to go doubly fast then, in order to get it done in five days?" The dad-of-three has embarked on a 770 km-long charity bike ride in aid of Parkinson's. The feat which kicked off on Monday will see the rugby star and his fellow 21 teammates cycling from Lake Geneva to Nice in a remarkable six days."We’ve got over 3,000 metres of climbing pretty much every day, which is nearly two miles vertically," Mike revealed.
To commemorate the achievement, he captioned the post:"Day 2 – Horrible climb in the Col de Prez, but the team stuck with it and got through it. Bring on day 3." Mike's fans rushed to the comments section in praise of his adventurous feat, with one writing:"Brilliant effort Mike & team," whilst another penned:"Fantastic effort, well done."The cause is close to Mike's heart after his beloved father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003.
