Lee Fancourt has just smashed the trans-europe record.
Northern most part of Norway to Tarifa in Gibralta.
Ive Been following his attempt from the start...
I cannot quite fathom what motivates someone to do this. He's dealt with massive fatigue (averaged 195 miles / day), unimaginable saddle sores, a cracked rib, a sheared pedal on his carbon crank arm, only 2-4 hours sleep every 24hr, Near hypothermia, cramps, bruises, bites and blistered everywhere.
Well done Lee.

I have just been following the TransAmerica race (Not RAAM - bunch of wimps as they have support crews) - not sure how they do it tbh - you should watch [i]inspired to ride[/i] to get a feeling for what it entails
His last leg to the finish was 432 miles with 30,000 ft of climbing..
Amazing achievement - link to his justgiving page?
That's got to worth a bob from each of us!
Amazing effort. Baffles me that people manage to keep it together mentally for day after day physical suffering that is of your own doing.
