One of the most spellbinding stories I have ever lived!!!

Without a doubt, this ranks high in the accomplishments of human endeavor. The three intrepid cyclists, who rode 15,000 miles, through 32 countries, on six continents, in order to raise funds to benefit the Dana Farber Institute in Boston and raise cancer awareness in general, display courage, strength and resiliency in meeting the challenge of riding over 70 miles per day for over 344 days. Ride with them as they get lost on the first day, suffer from flat tires, broken spokes, faulty handlebar stems, illness, a torn anterior cruciate ligament, hilarity and pathos. Tour the capitols of the world from London, Edinburgh, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Talin, Riga, Berlin, Paris, Rabat, Tunis, Athens, New Delhi, Kathmandu, Dacca, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Sidney, Auckland, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Sau Paulo, Rio de Janerio, to Los Angeles and finally back to Boston. Whew!!! What a long, strange trip it's been.
