Seduced by the speed and glamour of the biggest sporting event in the world, and determined to tackle the most fearsome physical challenge outside classical mythology, Moore (the ultimate amateur) attempts to complete all 2,256 miles of the Tour de France in the weeks before the professionals set off.

French Revolutions is the hilarious and highly original account of his journey; an heroic depiction of an inadequate man's attempt to achieve the unachievable. Moore's tour is a tale of calorific excess, ludicrous clothing and intimate discomfort. Listen and laugh out loud.
