These are pictures taken by various people and Vin Cox himself, that he has kindly given me permission to use .. Vin is a National Standards (Cycling) Instructor who delivers Bikeability in partnership with his local Schools Sports Partnership in Cornwall, where he lives with his wife. He has also been Cyclo-Cross Champion and is currently waiting to hear back from the Guinness World Records to find out if his adventure which took him around the world in 163 days 6 hours and 58 minutes cycling a total of 18225.7miles is declared the new record. If it is accepted and ratified, it will be 31 days faster than the old one. Having done it in the same manner as Mark Beaumont did, totally unsupported the whole way round, I for one amongst many, am keeping my fingers crossed! If you have Google Earth, you can see his journey by using this link which Vin's friend Mike set up .. http://www.greatbikeride.com/gps/Greatbikeride.zip
Vin - What you did is truly awesome and I am
proud to have you a colleague!! How inspiring is that for the children you
will now work with?
NOW WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT
PLEASE ..
