A while ago Craig Foster was hit side on by a car while cycling by a junction. He decided in his recovery that he would achieve the great task of travelling the globe. Not only would this be a great achievement for himself he could also use it to raise money for a charity dear to him -
http://www.justgiving.com/CraigFoster MacMillan Cancer Support
Over his travels he has been documenting the trip, and I have to say I look forward to each account he sends, as I'm sure you'll agree, its fascinating.
If you feel that the contents of your pockets weigh you down too much, then prehaps you will be so kind to donate to his charity so he can reach his target and beyond, long before he finishes.
happy reading

Most physically taxing sport I'm led to believe.
Possibly interested as I have about 2 stone to lose if I ever want to come out in a Sunday bunch again.

If you are still interested in this I am more than willing to help out.
I currently ride from Beith to Linwood most days on the cycle track and have very big concerns that the path might be unuseable once St. Benidicts opens with a direct link into part of the path that already suffers badly from waste.

U.S. Cyclist Lance Armstrong is about to win his seventh straight Tour de France on Sunday before he retires from the sport. His story of an amazing comeback from cancer is certainly worthy of the big-screen treatment, and Armstrong tells Men's Journal he has a possible candidate in mind to play him in a biopic.
"I've had the chance to get to know Matt Damon. He is a fan of cycling and has a connection to cancer. He has even expressed an interest in the role," Armstrong said in the magazine.
Armstrong easily retained his overall lead after stage 18 on Thursday, which was won by Spain's Marcos Serrano. Armstrong's lead over Ivan Basso, his closest challenger, remained unchanged at 2 minutes and 46 seconds.
Looking back, Lance entered 1996 as the No. 1 ranked cyclist in the world, competed as a member of the U.S. Cycling Team in the Atlanta Summer Olympic Games, and signed a contract with the French-based Cofidis racing team.
While seemingly at the top of his game, he was literally forced off his bike in excruciating pain. In early October, his doctor gave him the stunning news that he had cancer. And his life changed forever.
Tests revealed advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and his brain. Though his chances for his recovery were far less than 50-50, a frightened yet determined Lance began an aggressive form of chemotherapy.
With the advice of specialists, he tried a course of treatment that gave him a chance for a full recovery with less danger of losing lung capacity as a side effect. Remarkably, the chemotherapy began to work, and Lance gradually allowed his thoughts to return to racing.
After his miraculous recovery, Armstrong started the 1999 Tour de France on the United States Postal Service team and won the event. He went on to win five more consecutive years. This year his team is sponsored by the Discovery Channel.
In 1997, Lance also founded the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which provides the practical information and tools people living with cancer need to live strong (LiveStrong.org).
Should go down well in Scottish cinemas
