'The Man Who Cycled The Americas' Mark Beaumont

Going to watch it tonight, feel an unbelievable sense of Jealousy when i see this and wish i had had the balls to do it

I enjoyed it too. But give the guy a break - while we would all want to know more about the kit - this is aimed at a general (non-cycling) audience - like my wife! She found it enthralling too but would have been turned off by the tech stuff.

Good that it does bring cycling into the mainstream and help breaks the stereotype of the cyclists (you know, short shorts to display big thighs, mindless intolerance to pain and a liking for Country & Western - oh wait!).

Went to...

See MB at Tunbridge Wells on tuesday night,just caught the end of his first programme when I got back home.He is doing a National Theatre tour so look out for him.The evening was interesting and a few of us got to speak to him after.Great fella and he is genuinely interested to hear what your plans are.His mum is selling the merchandise and she too is a delight

Er, I only look at the Touring & Expedition section on this site, no harm in having a thread about a tour/expedition in a Touring & Expedition forum.

Time to explore more widely, you never know what delights await you

Exactly! that's why I put it in here where it belongs.

Umm, yes there is logic in that...
