New York, New York!

People, you know that I love the London Underground yeah? If not then let me explain VERY briefly. For years I have attempted to capture the world record for visiting all 275 London Underground stations in the quickest time. I have attempted this 3 times and thus far my PB is 19h 42m 24s, which should have been 19hours 12minutes - but for a train missed by 5 seconds very late on. oh and we also had to wait at Finchley for 24 minutes. SO it could have got close to the current record of 18h35m43s. Anyway! Thats what I do. Theres also smaller challenges that the Tube Challenge community do for "fun". these include Zone 1 and the All Lines Challenge.

Got it? Good, glad u understand! Let's continue...

Guinness recognise the London Underground as a world record worthy system and they also recognise one other... New York. (A cabbage to the person who works out where this is going!). Geoff Marshall, current holder of London and now living in the US, approached me with an idea. Lets do the NY system! There isnt a current record as people in the States dont care. Geoff is getting a team of us together to crack it. There are 468 stations on the NY system and Geoff thinks it will take just over 24 hours.

The idea is to do in the first week of October 2006. Its gonna be quality. As long as we complete it it sounds like its a sure fire world record. Happy days! Although its early days and not definately going to happen I reckon that I'd do it for charity and raise a bunch of dosh. What do people think about that then?!
