A round the world 'race' over 5 continents.

Apparently it can be done as part of a team and you can choose how many stages (continents) you want to do.

A snip at £25 000! But at least they do throw in a free bike.

Me too, looks great, full supported and whilst the cost does seem expensive, it's actually quite good value in my opinion. But it seems that you have to use their bike, you cant use any other model, and it's a CC bike.
But you do have to pay for your air travel. Everything else is included.
We’ll provide: · Full race route

· Team kit
· Pre-programmed GPS navigation equipment

· 2 team support staff to set up camp each day

· A media tent to charge electronic device, or share your experience with friends and family

Sounds great but ride rather than race would be more appropriate.

Good point - many people confuse ride with race, sportives every weekend full of wannabees who think they are "racing".
