1) Riding the tears of Everest - Darren Clarkson-King
Everest cries two rivers of tears into Nepal, the Dudh Kosi and Arun Gorges, both remote and challenging white water rivers. These rivers have seen seldom descents. In the spring Darren will make a solo unsupported descent of these rivers, back to back.
2) JW's Global Bicycle Race - World Record Attempt - Jason Woodhouse
Jason has given himself one year to go transform from a casual cyclist “weekend warrior” to a world-class endurance athlete. This will see him racing 18,000 miles around the world in an attempt to SMASH the current world record for a circumnavigation by bicycle completely self supported.
3) Cycling South America - Keith Ruffles
This will almost certainly be the first circumnavigation of South America by bicycle and will take Keith 25,000km round the continent.
