You never know.........
People didnt think Geoff & Neil would set the new record for the Tube Challenge but they did.

Actually while tube challenging last Friday i came up with a rather bizarre challenge and frankly one I doubt anyone would ever attempt. Or think about, except me.
Do the Paris Metro and London Underground back to back. So we start with perhaps a 275 or Zone One since a 275 is tiring on its own. Dash to Waterloo, connect via train only, and at Paris skip onto the Metro and possibly do it's entirity too.... Anyone mad enough for it?
That sounds rather insane...
So it'd be a Z1 challenge, Eurostar to Paris, THEN the Paris Metro? I'm sure that can't be done in a day! Paris' Metro system needs a day to itself!
Oh it's not a one day thing i'm sure
which makes it insane and highly unlikely anyone would do it

I think I will opt out of this one. I'n useless at French anyway and the Paris Metro seems far too complicated for me

Yeah, I might reserve that for when there are no more challenges to set records for.

As for me, I'm sticking to an old friend. Goes by the name of London Underground

Hey! I've very rarely been in trouble with security or police; I'm actually very well-behaved, and considerate of various rules and regulations, with a few exceptions at Oxford Circus of course.
I wonder what I can do in Bath. Bath is surrounded by hills. There's a cycling challenge called the All Hills Challenge. That sounds fun!

What happens at Oxford Circus?

Or you could try racing a HST to Bristol TM. I daresay that wouldn't be too hard, considering how slow they seem to go along there...

If I were totally mad, which I'm not, then I would have a go at this:

Good for you. Good luck. I would have to think about this one. Me and running are not the best of friends...
