My brother-n-law has started this new company that helps you cycle around the world in different stages. They provide back up vehicles, accommodation and lots of other stuff. I know it's not MTB's but thought it might appeal to some of you or someone you know. Have a look and see what you think.

Think I saw this the other day, Chris Evans (ginger one, not Captain America) voices the Ad?
Liked the concept, looked at website.... Wowzers that's pricey!
E.g London to Paris (3 days) £1100
I know there's support and everything, but it seemed a bit steep to me

Why wouldn't you where a helmet [u][b]daleftw[/b][/u]? Yes it is pricey I agree but I'm sure there are people out there willing to pay for this kind of experience, Thanks for the feed back I'l pass it on.

Its not really around the world though, is it?,
25 trips, 4 days on average, 80 miles per day = only 8,000 miles

£30k + flights for all 25 sections is going to require a lot of people with very deep pockets.
