Ok, so, my friends are doing something pretty amazing right about now.

They are going from the North Pole to the South Pole using only manpower. Yes, you heard right. These boys have made their way from the geomagnetic North Pole, skating their way over sea ice, down to Greenland where they sailed round Newfoundland to New York in time to take up their sponsored pitch at the Live Earth concert. Now, on their bicycles, they're on their way to their next checkpoint at Memphis, having crossed the Appalachians. They cycle all the way down, down, down til they hit Panama, and sail from there, through the Panama canal, to Guayaquil in Ecuador. Back on their bikes they then cycle all down the west coast of the continent, to Tierra del Fuego and then Cape Horn where they jump in their yacht and sail round Las Malvinas, past the Cape of Good Hope, til they hit the magnetic South Pole.

If you see them on their travels, be sure to say hi!
