I received my medical form from French Cycling Holidays last week. The French authorities require you to get a doctor to state that you are in good shape to undertake an event like the Paris marathon or the Etape.
Its completely ridiculous as there is no way a doctor is going to know what condition I will be in when the Etape comes around. I guess its to screen for bigger problems but unless the doctor gives me a full work-up with blood tests and screening, he won't know much.
I know that some doctors charge up to £100 but I was lucky. My doctor talked about my asthma, took my blood pressure, looked over my medical history and then signed the form for nothing. What an gem. Its now been posted off which is a relief.

Cyclomundo website says
"The 17th edition of the Étape du Tour returns to Mont Ventoux, site of some of the Tour de France’s most memorable moments, for the first time in nine years. This storied climb follows the exact route of the 20th stage in next summer’s Tour de France, making it the ultimate sports fantasy experience on par with playing soccer in London’s Wembley Stadium or golf at the site of the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia!"
Not true.
You can be a five stone overweight and play golf in Augusta....
True but I'm crap at golf.
