Dunno if anyone else is following this.. seems to be near the halfway point..

[url=

- seems to be roughly on the record pace from what I can make out from the updates.

Also [url= https://twitter.com/mrmarkbeaumont ]Mark Beaumont is on day 68/80[/url] and on course to beat the world record..

Also Ed Pratt riding around the world on a unicycle. Not trying to break any records specifically, but by default will be the first person to unicycle the world and the fastest on the basis nobody has done it before. He's really just a young lad taking a few years out seeing the world and raising funds for a worthwhile charity while he's at it, but quite interesting endeavour.

I'm following the Mark Beaumont attempt too. it's getting quite hard to watch, he's not the most charismatic of people, but I guess after 16 hours on a bike few people would be.

From what I can gather [url=

has (only!) about 540 miles to do in about 36 hours, not sure that's doable.. is near Brocton/Stafford I think.. hell of an achievement either way..

Project Kansas are on the A9 in Scotland at the moment.

They have till 6 am in the morning to get to JoG to beat Ben's record, think they may do it.
