Andrew Conquers the Tour De France

Andrew CyclePlease join us in giving Andrew Morrisey, Senior Lifestyle Consultant at The Dragon Health and Fitness Club a big round of applause as he returns from his endeavours at this year’s Tour De France.  In his own words, this is how he fared:

 My cycling adventure consisted of cycling 7 stages of the 2010 Tour de France, the biggest cycling event in the world. In total I cycled 1092km over 7 days. The stages that I completed involved the Prynennes Mountains. These are home to some of the most gruelling mountain climbs including the Col Du Tourmalet which I climbed twice. Each day I was cycling for a minimum of 7 hours and covering distances over 180km with hills that would take from 1 hour to 3 hours. I also took part in the etape the biggest amateur event, this year 10,000 people took part with only 6,000 finishing, I managed to complete this day after already doing 3 days cycling. I enjoyed doing this and now I am aiming to complete the whole tour de france next year!

Congratulations to Daniel Bevan – Lifestyle Consultant at the Dragon Health Club! Daniel has won Employee of the Month for his hard work and effort in the health club in July.

Gel Nails coming soon and Andrew does the Tour De France!!

This week we’re all excited for the launch of the Brand New Jessica Gel Nails! Gel nails are proving very popular for those ladies that like to keep well maintained nails, but lead a busy ‘hands on’ lifestyle as they last longer and resist chipping!

Michelle and Harley are looking forward to the new colours arriving soon and we’ll keep you posted on when they arrive!

Also, Andrew (our Senior Lifestyle Consultant) is in France cycling hard on the Tour De France. He left on Wednesday 14th July and we’ve heard back that the weather is hot and the route is hard…but we’re proud to learn that he came first amoungst his group in the first part!

Good Luck Andrew..we’ll keep you posted on the rest of his incredible journey!!
