Just heard on the radio that Mr Beaumont is on another trip, riding the length of the Americas this time. Whatever you think of him, should be an interesting documentary.
Had a look at his blog http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/cyclingtheamericas/2010/01/video-diary-aconcagua-1.shtml
One thing I was surprised by on here was the pics showing him dressed all in black, with black panniers. I'm sat here searching the internet for hi-viz clothing for my own tour and trying to work out ways to make me more visible - personally I wouldn't feel at all safe in Mark's all-black. Oh, and no helmet
