    How long do you think it will take?

    I didn't click on the link as I saw it on the news and either missed the time frame or it was not mentioned.

    Things people will do for free match tickets.

    Fair play to them. Wouldn't fancy it in a car, let alone on a bike.

    Nope, it's due to finish for the Spain game in Gdansk, which is on the 14th of June. Some of them don't even have tickets!

    A noble goal but nothing compared to the students in 2007
    Three Irish students have set-off on a 334 day cycle from Ireland to China to raise funds for charity. The 18,000km trek will see them travelling through some of the world’s most difficult terrains and extreme climates as they pass through more than 18 countries including: France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

    They completed it
    Now that's impressive :cool:
