Lee Fancourt’s Land’s End-John O’Groats-Land’s End Attempt (LEJOGLE)
Lee Fancourt needs no additional motivation. If you remember he was trying to break the record for crossing the length of the UK and back (south-north-south). Unfortunately he had to call it quits on Thursday last week when he became ill and could not keep anything down. His attitude… hey it happens, I’ll be back next year.
BTW, his story is quite incredible. He’s a former boxer and runner but knee problems meant switching to the bike in 2011. He was told he’d never be able to ride long distances. Well he’s already done some incredible ultra endurance feats (including riding around the world). Learn more about him at LeeFancourt.com.
Vuelta Espana
Well the Vuelta started on Saturday and they’ve already hit the mountains! And there’s some controversy as Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) gets ejected for catching a tow with his team car following a crash. As you’ll see from the video below, it’s quite a tow. Why not just get in the car?
