Trouble for me!

Hello,

Yesterday during my training my heart got in problems again. My heart rate went up to 210 /min. and this means I will probably have another surgery to fix this problem. It also means that I'm not going to ride my bike on the Mont Ventoux. This hurts me really.
I will contact my cardiologic on Monday and hope that I can have the surgery as soon as possible. But even then it will not be possible to climb the Mont Ventoux in May.
But for all of you the challenge goes on, and I will be in France to support you all in your personal challenge on the slopes of our mountain.

As soon as I now more you hear from me.

ps.

I also had from Daniel a message that he will not be able to climb the Mont Ventoux on his bike due to medical circumstances. He will also be a supporter on the side line like me.
