Captain Scarlet Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yea I catched a bit of it the other night, it is quite an inspiring tour I would love to undertake something like that on a smaller scale one day.I didn't get why he only brought 3 spare spokes with him and why he made such a fuss about replacing the spoke that snapped.

Hendrix Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Just watched all of the episodes on iPlayer. It's so good, and so interesting... he's obviously a phenomenal cyclist, but my god it's so amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ahh, its Mark Beaumont I'm thinking of. Apparently world record holder for the fastest time around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not seen it yet. I've watched the bits on the red button on sky though. Anyway, my grandad rode from liverpool to London in 21 hours, on a tandem with my nan!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmeansgo Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've seen a couple of episodes, and really enjoyed them. He's trying to knock like 80 days off the world record I think. Really funny seeing the cultural differences he has to deal with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I thought it was a programme about Marc Beaumont, got all excited for some 4x action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
