As the days/weeks/months fly past, spare a thought for the riders in the first 'World Cycle Racing Grand Tour' - A cycle race around the World!!
They are riding around 1400 miles per week and will continue at that pace for the next four months. There are only nine competitors and nobody really knows how the event will pan out. The rules all seem rather vague? - each of the nine competitors chooses their own route. They must ride in one direction and cover at least 18,000 miles .... and that's about it.
As I write there is an Englishman, Mike Hall, in the lead! - check it out at

It all started in 2011 - we decided to ride Lands End to John O Groats, since then we've completed a number of 'challenges' raising over £15,000 for various charities. You can read about our adventures here, and also our on-going efforts to keep on cycling!
