If you listen carefully, at the shed to the rear of the Berry house in Ferndale Park, you'll hear the whirring of furious pedalling. Take a look inside and you'll find Neil Berry in the saddle, drenched in sweat as he pedals and pedals over hours and hours. The reason is, despite not being able to leave his shed, Neil is actually cycling the infamous Tour De France route, and he's doing it all for a great cause.
A massive cycling enthusiast, Neil has set up a turbo roller/resistance trainer in the shed, allowing him to cycle while stationary. He has the whole route planned out just like the legendary cycling event and can increase and decrease the resistance to mimic the mountain/sprint stages etc. A mammoth undertaking, Neil is nearing the midway point of 21 race days, with just two rest days in between, covering a whopping 3,400km...all from his shed!
